Episode 26: Coffee Shop… Coffee Shop of Horrors!
This spooky episode of the Midtown Coffee Radio Hour called, “Coffee Shop… Coffee Shop of Horrors!” And if you didn’t get the “play” on the Broadway musical “Little Shop of Horrors!”, then you need to stop drinking the decaf and switch to the strong stuff. In this episode, we talk with another fantastic South Dakota filmmaker, Brian Bieber (not related), enter the petty world of holiday yard inflatables, give Wade yet another chance to finish a story, learn about a next heart-warming movie in the Halloween franchise, and follow Dave along as he survives Halloween manning the Midtown Coffee shop candy bowl. Also, we have some ABBA for ya. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!
Episode 25: Midtown Needs Space!
The theme of this show is… “Midtown Needs Space.” I like to call it our Space Show 2.0, because as the O.G. Midtowners know, this isn’t our first space rodeo. Anyway, this time we aren’t venturing into outer space, but we are trying to do something equally as daunting…which is finding space in our calendars. Join us as we explore the ways we can slow down our lives and relax a little, all while delving into the psyche of ostriches on the run, making up songs with our guest who is a filmmaker and best good friend, Andrew Kightlinger, listening to Wade try to tell a story, and enjoying a poem just for the littles in the audience. All of this was performed and recorded on a beautiful night in September at the McKennan Park Bandshell and sponsored by a mystery donation! Enjoy!
Episode 24: The Midtown Experience
In June 2024, we were lucky enough to open for The Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience on opening weekend of the Levitt at the Falls. Playing on the big stage on a perfect summer night in front of over 6,000 people made for an evening we won’t soon forget. Please enjoy a show of our favorite skits and songs from the past seasons as well as two completely original songs from the Blend! So, sit back, relax, pretend you are on a grassy field on a perfect early June evening, and enjoy the Midtown Experience!
Episode 23: Tito’s Tail
In this episode of the Midtown Coffee Radio Hour, we are telling the epic story of the good-est, naughti-est boy ever... a dog named Tito. We also find out how the second installment of the Murder in Midtown series, “Green Scream” wraps up, get updated on the Sioux Falls golf scene, and obviously, take a moment of silence. It isn’t a Midtown show if we aren’t doing something weird! We would like to sincerely thank Midtown Dental Health for being the premier sponsor of this episode, as well as, Caselli’s Market Garden, En Place Catering, and Denise’s Doggie De-tails! Please support these amazing local businesses!
