Apropos of Nothing Podcast

This week, Jena is off doing Horror Festival stuff. James and Salsa aren’t allowed to be left unsupervised, so Jhax joined us!

This week, Salsa went to a comedy show, Jena went to a different show, and James bought some shelves. Don’t forget, the Twin Cities Horror Festival is imminent! https://www.tchorrorfestival.com/

This week, we give each other Prohibition-era gangster names and discuss the Twin Cities Horror Festival. Despite what the wording of that description might lead you to believe, those do not have anything to do with each other. Links!https://www.tchorrorfestival.com/tchf-xiv-schedule.htmlAnd HERE is the link to get this year’s LIMITED EDITION merch. (Must order by End of Day on October 8th)

This week marked the end of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for 2025. Which means, after this episode you won’t have to listen to us talk about it for at least 2 months. Also, here’s the recipe for Russian Tea:(x1) 20oz container of Tang1/2 Cup Instant Tea(x2) 1/4oz powder packets of lemonade mix1.5 Cups sugar1/2 tsp. clove1 tsp. cinnamonMix all ingredients together. Store in sealed container. 2-3 teaspoons of mix per cup of hot water (to taste). Links!Tchorrorfestival.com

This week, we are briefly joined by Raederle, who comes bearing whisky. It’s all downhill from there.

This week, Jena is healing and talks about that. James had a long weekend at Fest and talks about that. And Salsa’s throat is absolutely done in. He whispers about that.

This week, we talk about the Ren Fest. Jena talks about the Bryant Lake Bowl, just to mix things up.

This week, James was in a show (and it went weird), Salsa was in a show (and it went weird), and Jena watched a show. It did not go weird.

This week, Jena returns! We all know that she’s going to be discussing the details of her surgery, so I’m just gonna slap a big ol’ Content Warning on this, just to cover all of our bases. We are recording remotely as well, so apologies for the audio quality.

This week we are joined by Rah-buh-buh, and it’s that time of year again! The time where almost everything we talk about is Fest related, so buckle up Aproposse!

This week we are joined by Dan, the owner of Spirited Endeavors, a company which offers events and education of scotch and other spirits. This was a huge amount of fun, and this could easily have gone on for 4 or 5 hours if we let it. https://www.spiritedendeavors.com/

This week: Salsa was in Canada, James was at a LAN party, and Jena did not drink any coffee.

This week: Salsa plays a piano, James plays a board game, and Jena talks to a stranger. And here’s the link to the booze-event business Salsa was talking about: https://www.spiritedendeavors.com/

This week, Jena saw “Endometriosis: The Musical” (no, really, that’s a thing). We also have a new sponsor! (Try to spot our subtle ad.)

This week, James and Jena have a great time at CONvergence. Salsa does not have a great time, and it’s not necessarily because he wasn’t at CONvergence (but it is quite the coincidence, isn’t it?)

Hey, remember that time that Salsa wasn’t on the podcast for, like, two weeks because he was on vacation? Well, you will after this, because that’s what pretty much this whole episode is about. There’s landscapes and RV damage, and Salsa levels up his dad-mode.

This week! Salsa is back, Jena hurt her back, and James is an affront. We are joined by special guest Steve!

This week, James invoked Animal House, Jena investigated animals’ homes, special guest Jhax visited while Salsa is away finding creature comforts.

This week, Jena herds cats, James is turned into a sheep, and we are joined by longtime friend of the podcast, Jessa, because Salsa is on the lamb!

This week, Jena did not see a red panda, James did not sleep in an RV, and Salsa will not be here for a few weeks.
