Wedge LIVE!

My microphone failed, but that didn't stop me from talking to Jason Garcia for 75 minutes. If you don't enjoy this episode's low quality, we know who to blame. It's Jason's fault for single-handedly wrangling 40+ subscribers during the week of the Wedge LIVE Pledge Drive. It has forced me into the podcasting business. 

Jason's from a small town, the kind of place that teaches you the value of bullying the mayor. Jason talks about bringing that attitude to Minneapolis, mopping the floor with a 5th grade version of Ronald Reagan (during a stint as a Walter Mondale impersonator), and the joys of nextdoor.com. We talk about backyard meat storage and team up to form the tri-neighborhood area's wackiest radio duo: "Wedgie and the Meatjacker." Finally, we play a listener voicemail. How do we already have a listener?
