Illinois Valley Podcast

The @IVPodcast is rocking this week with an episode full of surprises. First off we talk about the latest on the Starved Rock trail closures, plus a couple notes on the LaSalle Canal Boat. After that we jump into the big patent troll case against podcasters. Personal Audio has decided podcasters are too poor to sue. Nice. After the break things really get interesting when we decide to start randomly calling people on Skype. We would like to thank Rev (@revlo_ND) from the Revcast, and Brodie (@Brodie1138) from Quest Update for jumping on the show. We had a really fun discussion about all sorts of stuff. Rock on and stay posted, t-shirts are coming!

Welcome to Episode 63 and Happy 4th of July!!! This week we chat about craft beer, an update on River City Panic, and the X-Race in Marseilles, IL. Then we welcome our guest, Kevin LaFollette! Kevin comes to the show to fill us in on the Cedar Point Classic. And just to be clear Google searchers, we are talking about the lovely little town in Illinois…not the rollercoaster park. After the interview, we flashback to the past by playing old #IVpod 4th of July clips from 2011 and 2012 about the Peru waterstreet issues. Fun stuff…Enjoy!
