4/19/2021
You know the saying: April showers bring May… events? Well, that’s definitely the case, as the Chippewa Valley opens things back up after a year of COVID quarantines, and that’s the topic of conversation in episode 8 of the Volume One Podcast.
Panelists Christina Wolff and Eric Rasmussen join us on the pod to chat about choo choos (or snazzy new Amtrack trains, for us adults here in the room) slated to hit the Chippewa Valley, a local amateur historian preserving history from the passenger...

Happy Fool’s Spring, y’all! We’re back with episode 7 of the Volume One Podcast, and it’s such a good one.
Comedians Hannah Kabelitz and Cullen Ryan join us on the panel to tackle the latest and greatest in the Valley. We’re already winded thinking about Eau Claire’s new rooftop bar, there’s a new local Tesla ride share service (for that undeniable feeling of superiority), and we look at the culinary trend of ghost kitchens popping up around town. OoOoOo, don’t be scared!
Later, we’re...

New year, new pod! Folks, we’re back with episode 5 of the Volume One Podcast, and it’s a real doozy. Panelists Jo Ellen Burke and Mike Paulus are in the building to cover an unforeseen (and strangely anonymous) update on the future of the pagoda from Jimmy Woo’s Restaurant. We talk roundabouts, therapy ponies, snow demons, and take a deep dive into a notorious local Facebook group called “You Know You’re From Eau Claire When…”

12/17/2020
It’s our last pod of the year, and we’re feeling reflective, y’all. So many national and worldwide trials dominated local life this year, but rest assured we had some pretty bad stuff happen here in the Chippewa Valley too, all to ourselves … Just for us, ya know?
Our panelists Sheng Elizabeth Lor and Sarah Jayne Johnson help us dissect all the depressing stuff that happened this year in the Valley, and pinpoint exactly how trash was 2020?

Happy November, y’all! Episode 3 of The Volume One Podcast is LIVE.
This time, we’re joined by panelists Bonni Knight and Matt Hasenmueller to dissect some chilling developments in the Chippewa Valley. Big T’s Saloon got busted by undercover agents for their shake-of-the-day bar dice game, but how will it shake out? Can Wisconsin’s culture go unscathed? Plus, we get to the bottom – or the top, I suppose – of the astronomically massive American flag hoisted in Altoona.
Later, Adam Condit...

Wow, we really did it, y'all. Straight out of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, it's EPISODE 1 of the VOLUME ONE PODCAST! For our maiden voyage, panelists Sarah Jayne Johnson and Mike Paulus talk turkey about all things Chippewa Valley. Does the new Kwik Trip on Water Street pave the way for some weirder non-conforming Kwik Trips? Are all these new axe-throwing places getting us ready for the apocalypse? Should there be a lighthouse at the Confluence? Later, we play "Who Wants To Live In Altoona?" and...
