A little more than a year after my first guest host appearance on Flak Radio, I was invited back. Hosted by Taylor Carik and Jim Norton, the studio has traditionally been the guest room at Jim’s house. He has since moved from Uptown to Longfellow and the studio came with it. It’s a bit more roomy compared to the photo above from last time! They even have some space for their audio engineer, Adam Voreis.
Being a guest has its perks. Immediately I’m served a pint of water with ice cubes made with cranberries frozen in them. I’m greeted by one of their cats. I’m offered almost every beer or liquor in the house, including vodka personally distilled multiple times in a Brita filter, as taste tested in a previous Flak Radio segment. I should have taken him up on the offer as my first few minutes I continue to lose my words and stutter a bunch. I can’t say I have much practice behind a microphone and it shows. I loosen up towards the end though.
Some highlights:
- I announce my new gig with MNpublius.
- We played some funny clips from NonSociety.
- We talk about a pizza a lot.
- Senate Candidate Dean Barkley’s Match.com profile.
- I admit publicly that I’m a super picky eater.
- We all try some Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry and Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus. Yes, that’s a highlight!
Always fun and I hope they’ll have me back on as a guest next year too.
Listen to it at Flak Radio.

Did you try some of that apple cinnamon stuff? Forget what it was called, but pretty good.
I had no idea you were writing for MNpublius. They must have changed their feed, I just realized I haven’t gotten anything new from them since June 18.
