Midwest Real
A podcast & blog with an unquenchable lust for rabbit holes, novelty and open-minded inquiry. Join us as we dig beyond the status quo! Hosted by Michael Phillip EST. 12/21/2012 in Milwaukee.

This week, we talk with NFL punter and bona fide smooth talker Chris Kluwe.  Chris was flung into the mainstream when he defended gay rights in a now famous letter published by Dead Spin.  His stint in the spotlight has lead to nationwide notoriety, a huge online following and a book deal.  Chris is truly an intellectual, who professes insight in areas that fit in staggeringly well with our own interests.  You're definitely going to be pleasantly surprised in this one.

This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Matt Staggs. Matt is an  editor atDisinformation.com (i.e. ‘Disinfo’) and also helms their podcast, the DisinfoCast. He also writes for Suvudu, your one-stop shop for all things sci-fi and fantasy media. Many of you may also know him as the booking agent for the powerful (Get it?) Joe Rogan Experience podcast. We had truly eclectic conversation with Mr. Staggs, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy the discourse.

You can find this and all of our other episodes on iTunes (Remember to subscribe andrate), or for the Apple-less amongst us, you can download it from our archive.

Stay hungry, stay happy. Do some long division or something.

We're back with another "family" cast. 

Yes, this week we've opted to have an episode with just the four of us to catch up on what's been going on in the world and in our heads.  We answer burning questions about everything from our broken government and economy, to how close we are to creating the matrix, all while Dana cooks tacos.  Get in on the conversation on twitter @midwestreal and at midwestreal.net.
