Pod Of Dreams

Hope everyone had a good long weekend or in the middle of still enjoying their break! Zach and Casey talk fall, beards, and white claws for a while. Then get serious about Casey's year of realizing stuff. 

What didnt we cover in this episode?? This week we welcome on Mitchell Olson who has been around the world and back. He shares stories and experiences living in New York from writing and acting to his stand up comedy days. We talk at length about Survivor and other game shows. We even dip our toes into some politics. Go find him on facebook, he is a must follow (you cant be his friend, he literally has too many fb friends). Buckle up for this wild ride!!

Rachel Halgerson brought us Rhode Island brewed beer when she came for this week's podcast. We couldnt really talk about her witness protection relocation to Sioux Falls from Rhode Island but we do get to talk a ton about photography! We had a blast recording this one so we really hope you enjoy the episode! Check out her work below and if you need professional pictures done mention the Pod of Dreams and she will hook you up!! @rhodyray

Follow along as the gang recounts their week. Casey is joined by Lauren, Cody and Stacy who have all just experienced a California vacation of a lifetime! if you are from either the midwest or the west coast, chime in on what we missed of the other stereotype!

This week we talk about mental health and other things related. Luke Frohreich is Zach's brother in law, working as a nurse practitioner, shares his experiences moving from the Midwest to California and back again. We get into differences in culture and lifestyles and ultimately talk about society and mental health. This is a big issue and is becoming more and more prevalent today. We give our opinions and different experiences with mental health. Listen along, maybe you have additional ideas or can learn something from this episode!  

Summers get crazy busy and we are certainly feeling it now! We talk about upcoming trips and vacations the rest of the summer and speculate if the activities and plans will ever scale back. We talk about things to do in Sioux Falls in our SF Favs segment. Sturgis also gets a good chunk of time. We challenge each other to a beard contest and plan our motorcycle trip to the Black Hills

Bogger (not Justin) came in because he has been trolling us on twitter and had a lot of explaining to do. We ended up talking fantasy football strategies stigmas. We shared a lot of laughs and had a great time!! Even if you dont play fantasy football, like Casey, you can laugh along with us all the same. Enjoy!!

We were in Avon and Dante, SD over the weekend playing in the annual memorial softball tournament, and cutting a rug at the street dance!

She shares her unique story of being a correctional officer and what she has seen and experienced there. We talk a lot about living and being a part of a small town in the midwest. I hope you enjoy this episode half as much as we enjoyed our weekend with the Tjeerdsmas!

We have a laid back episode for the week of the 4th. We talk about summer and the 4th of July. We talk about some pretty obvious 4th of July stuff and each share our favorite 4th story. Enjoy this epsiode on the boat, near a pool, behind a grill, or with some friends!!

Daniel is officially a recurring guest!! Jacquelyn reached out and set up the recording with him and we had a BLAST!! We talk about his social media adventures right away before we get into some of the Bachelorette details. We talk about his experience being in the audience of women tell all. Then we start comparing following the Bachelor vs the Bachelorette.   I do want to apologize for the poorer audio quality. Every business experiences their ups and downs, and during the recording we had ourselves a classic "microphones-stopped-working" type of a situation. We powered through and had a great time nonetheless!! 

This week episode features Zach's long time friend Chad Veire! Chad is the golf pro at Elmwood golf course is Sioux Falls. He makes it clear that there is a difference between golf pro and pro golfer! Chad shares a little about his life, how Sioux Falls and golf fit like a glove, and even took time to throw out a few quick pointers on how to fix a slice! If you only golf once a summer (Casey) or if you golf multiple rounds a week (Zach), enjoy this episode and make sure to check out Elmwood and say hi to Chad for us!!
