  • 61. Vaudeville Mews (with Adam Callanan!)
    Adam has journeyed from the parking lot to the Pink Room for an hour of mourning the loss of Vaudeville Mews, an iconic Des Moines venue. We swap our favorite memories and wax poetic about the creaky stairs, sticky floors, and unforgettable nights on 4th and Court.

    This episode was recorded in late October – thanks for bearing with us on the slow turnaround!
