Illinois Valley Alternative Podcast

This week John and Clayton dive into the infamous history of the Ottawa Radium Dial factory and update everyone on some recent related events. We also hear some follow up to John's Christmas light let down. The show finishes off with some "In the News" and some of our favorite podcasts. Rock On.

Episode 11 is here. We were kind of dragging after our long weekend so you will have to excuse our off-the-cuffness. This week we talk about Fishsticks & Milk. Also John tells about his "Old Moment" and a bunch of listener feedback. Rock on.

We made it to our 10th Episode! This week Clayton and John get knee deep in a hunting discussion. John gives his Harry Potter report, and Clayton discusses his vast array of graphic tee's. Plus the big news about the IVpod article in the Ottawa Times. To cap it off there are plenty of random topics as well plus some weird technical difficulties. Rock on.

Episode 9 is LIVE!!! Sorry, there I go again. This week we shot the poop about a bunch of randomness. Clayton divulged his crazy Black Friday experiences, while John explains what keeps him up at night. That and some other fun like Harry Potter and listener feedback. Later.

This week we changed up the format a little bit and discussed a variety of Illinois Valley topics. A little news, a little opinion, and the c-word. Topics included the Peru Pool closing, the election, the Depue boy with the ghost costume, some videogame talk, and plenty of nonsense to fill your day...

This week's show is about the Illinois Valley Vixens Roller Derby League. Since this is our first show about the Vixens, we thought it would be helpful to give everyone some background information on women's flat track racing. We are really excited to see the ladies in action. Support the IV Vixens! For more info on the podcast music, check out our site. www.ivpod.com

This week we attempt to educate everyone on the Hennepin & Hopper Lakes. This is a restored wetland area just south of Hennepin, IL. For the most part, this area flies under everyone's radars; so we are hoping to shine some light on the importance of this area. Plus you get to hear John completely mind blank at about 22 minutes into the show. Luckily, Clayton is there to save the day (as usual). Rock on...

We couldn't pick one topic this week, so we decided to talk about a bunch of Illinois Valley stuff. This week's show touches on some fall activities like scenic driving, the Burgoo, haunted houses, and football. We also share our favorite podcasts of the week, and just a lot of silly banter. We hope you enjoy it...

Hey everyone. Well, Clayton and I actually spent some time researching this one. We found some good stats in an effort to release LaSalle County from the mythical belief that it is the second worst county in the USA, in terms of drinking. We hope you enjoy it, and maybe, just maybe, think better of our lovely area. By the way, this podcast was produced a bit differently. It is a higher sound quality podcast, but I have noticed that if you listen to it on low budget earbuds, the s's sound a bit piercing. Let me know if you guys notice any issues with this.

Wow, can you believe we actually made a second podcast. What a victory in itself. We are trying to catch up to almost real time so we will be bringing out a clump of shows to get things up to speed. Episode 3 involves Clayton and I discussing the local movie scene. Arcades tend to go hand in hand so we also spend some time reminiscing about our days in the Goldmine. Enjoy.

Here is the first official Illinois Valley Alternative Podcast episode. So why is it called episode 2??? Mainly cause we didn't know what we were doing and we decided to scrap episode 1. This show primarily discusses our days as whiffle ball junkies. We also reminisce about our younger days roaming around the town. Plus a little about local news and our favorite podcasts of the week. Enjoy...
