It's been a minute. We're switching hosts to try and more easily post some ep's!

The Town Meeting Podcast

Switching to Anchor. Wish us luck.

Babe told John and me (Luke) a story about a pretty intense moment he had a few months ago in the woods. It led to some interesting conversation. Check it out. 

Episode 54: Babe's In The Woods

 One of the plus sides of this quarantine is the normalization of Zoom meetings. It's become a second nature, really. People we normally don't get to talk to often are now in this same crazy boat and we get to talk to our cross country friends like they're are next door neighbors. This stay-at-home thing sucks, but this part of it is kinda great, no? Today Russ and I zoomed it up with our old man (Red Wine Danny) and our old pal Derek Oats. We talked about cooking meat, the horrors of politicized social media, Florida man, and how great Mystic River is. We also get a little specific on our political opinions - if your offended, sorry not sorry. Derek is one of our favorite dudes and a long time patron, and our dad is one of our oldest dads. 

Episode 53: There's No Craft Beer In Florida

 It's just me on this one. I've been going through some stuff (as I'm sure you all have) and so here I am, letting some of it out. I talk about the anxiety and depression that unfortunately seems to come with a quarantine. I get into what I've been doing: Book collecting, grill buying, etc. I talk about a new podcast Russ and I've got coming up. It's a thing.   I really miss you guys. 

Episode 52: Just Luke

 Happy Quarantine, folks! It's our 50th episode and I was really hoping for something huge. Fireworks. Special guests. Celebrity sightings. Anything, really. However, COVID 19 had different ideas...   Instead you get something even better! Me and oldest friend John talking about books we love and who'd we hang out with if the world ended.   For real though, our Patron's are keeping us alive right now. Shows are being cancelled and/or postponed. People are losing their sources of income. But our patrons are holding it down hard. Huge Patreon Party when this is all over. We love you forever.   For more info or to join our patreon - Patreon.com/townmeeting   

Episode 50: Intensity

 This might be the most ridiculous / most fun I've had in a while around the mic's in the old garage. Had the pleasure of sitting with my pals Nick and Sam (Zach was there, too, but it did not bring me pleasure) and just having a strait up SILLY time. We talked about the usual: celebrity dong, geese vs. wasps, seventh day adventists and FMK animal edition. If you're offended by any of this then it's quite clear you've never heard an episode before. So welcome and we hope you stay! For real though, it was great to just hang with friends and be silly and I hope you had a few laughs. We've got shows! Rex Theater in Manchester - Feb 21 with our pals in Gentle Temper and Golden Oak! Also we're in Conway, NH, Portland, ME and other places! Go to our facebook for more info: facebook.com/townmeeting 

Episode 49: Celebrity Dong

Happy New Year, Townies! Can't think of a better way to start off 2020 then by hanging with with my duck loving homies Nick and Slyn! And to throw some icing on the cake, we've got the incredibly talented Ben Cosgrove on the couch as well! We talk about bad sound guys, taxes, being alone on an island in Lake Superior, and Luke calls his mom about the show Gargoyles. (Spoiler: She doesn't pick up.)  Also, we play one of Ben's songs! It's called Salt. It's amazing. Happy 2020, folks. Love you forever. 

Episode 48: Ben Cosgrove!

 When we last left the Problem Solvers, they had just spent a long ass time fighting wolves and had entered the mysterious town of Ravana, where they had previously been summoned by the mayor. We pick up where we left off, in a tavern in the town square...   PS - if these aren't you're thing, I get it. But they are getting some pretty positive feedback, plus we love doing them! However, I'll make sure to put regular episodes of the TM podcast between them...   We love you all and merry Christmas and see you at The Bull Run! 

TMD&D! Chapter 2: Don't Drink The Milk-Beer / Stop Sending Birds

 After long last, it's finally happened. Goblins and House Elf's unite, because the Town Meeting boys (most of em...) sat down this past weekend and started the adventure of a lifetime - we played dungeons and dragons for the first time ever. AND IT WAS AWESOME. Honestly it was so much fun and we will be doing it again very soon. Even if you're not a huge fan of fantasy, you should listen to this one because if you don't we'll all cast spells on you. Special thanks to Marcus and John for joining us, and an even bigger thanks to our Dungeon Master and great pal, the amazing Zach Frederick. Enjoy, friends. 

TMD&D! Chapter 1 - The Adventure Begins / Wolves Are Hard

Summer's over. The leave's are falling of the trees. And we're back, baby! Oh man, did I miss podcasting! Happy to be returning to talking about god knows what into microphones with my pals Zach, Nick and Slyn! In this episode we go over plans for when the end of the world, how much cheese is too much cheese, geese vs. ducks, and guns. That's right, GUNS. Hope you enjoy, Townies.

Episode 47: Running Out Of Cheese During The Apocalypse

It's another midnight recording, folks! Russ and Luke sat down with our new favorite podcast booty-call, the fantastic Jon and Ariana and we talked about music, how much ice cream sucks, which Beatle was the worst and Luke's fifth grade crush. It even gets a bit political in the middle! Enjoy!  Special thanks to Jon and Ariana for joining last minute! They are playing a set at Strong Style Coffee in Fitchburg, MA on Aug. 16th. Come check em out!

Episode 46: JAM'N 94.5

 Sat down with Babe and Tim to talk to our pal Jeff on this episode - who is riding close to 200 miles on a bike to raise money for The Dana Farber Institute! We talk about Tim's unfortunate cat situation, biker shorts and butt sweat, and of course how good Hard Boiled Eggs are. My daughter's make a cameo at the end - they'll be signing autographs later...

Episode 45: Pan Mass Butt Sweat

It was a late night, but that didn't stop the boys from getting deep into some good old fashioned talk about religion! Luke and Russ sit down with Derek, Zach and Jesse and chat about Christianity, growing up, and Abraham's Bosom. IT's a fun one! 

Episode 44 - Where In The Bible Is Carmen Santiago

Russ and I hung out once again with our pal Zach Frederick and talked about dogs, songwriting, and Luke's true feelings about The Talking Heads. We also had guitars the whole time so we end up breaking into a few new song ideas and covers and such. I apologize in advance for the audio quality of this episode! We just kind of turned the mics on and let it roll. Russ seems to be the only one facing his microphone during the majority of this episode. It looks like I may have found myself with a backwards facing mic the whole night. (And I may have asked myself, "How did I get here?")

Episode 42: Pitbulls & Pierogies

 My old man (red wine Danny) swung by the studio (my garage) to record something special for his old man, who just turned 80. We ended up having a great conversation and recording a few extra tunes. He was nice enough to share them with everyone here!   Happy birthday, Grampy Bob.     

Episode 41: Danny Boy

Luke and other members of the band Town Meeting sit down with friends and talk about life, music and whatever the hell pops into their minds. Sometimes deep, often silly, always Town Meeting.
