Birthday Week Begins

•

It's birthday week for Houston, Ella Langley is playing five hours away tomorrow night, and the crew is still buzzing about Stitch Fest coming up October tenth. Tom Whillock stops by to talk about the Friday meals that have fed people at the bandshell every single week since 2019, rain, snow, or anything else South Dakota throws at it. Then things get weird with a list of the best smelling cities in America, and Houston and Stitch argue about whether Sioux City deserves its reputation. A solid mix of heart and nonsense to kick off the week.
