WEEKEND AMERICA - IOWA EDITION
Nature works in strange and mysterious ways. John Lloyd had a close encounter with a funnel cloud that took him and his car for a ride down the streets of Iowa City, while Postmaster Doug Curtiss had to deal with wreckage from the twister at the busiest time of the year for the postal service – Tax Time (April 14th).
Erik Farseth grabbed a microphone and gathered a few twisted storm stories in the immediate aftermath.
While the rest of us enjoy our Thanksgiving turkey, for vegetarians, steering clear of meat products can be quite a challenge. WSUI intern/vegetarian Erik Farseth shares his Thanksgiving day woes.
The big turning point for pinball came in 2000, when the leading manufacturers abandoned the pinball industry. Today, only one company still produces pinball machines. Erik Farseth speaks with pinball collectors and fans about whether pinball can survive in the 21st century.
Emmy Award-winning scenic designer Gary Panter has designed some of the wackiest sets in TV history, including those for the classic Saturday morning almost-cartoon, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. He discusses his background and beliefs as a painter and designer.
The Rev. Russell Rathbun is a minister at the House of Mercy Baptist Church, and the host of "House of Mercy Presents: Live at the Turf Club" (a monthly Webcast at a St. Paul nightclub).
Rathbun speaks to WSUI intern Erik Farseth about his latest book, Post-Rapture Radio: Lost Writings from the Failed Revolution at the End of the Last Century.
Originally broadcast on WSUI Radio, AM 910 in Iowa City, IA.
