SEP058 – Rise of the Sioux Fallsians with Clinton Brown Part 1

Summary: <br><br> It’s big crew in a little apartment night on The Sioux Empire Podcast as your full Zoo Crew (Robert Mehling, Emily Gheorghiu, Natasha Estes, and Seth Glover) welcome entrepreneurship Jedi Master Clinton Brown, owner of the Bakery Co-Working space of Sioux Falls. Brown gives the crew a masters course in business and journalism, and we teach him it’s ok to hug. The guest train doesn’t stop there, though, this episode also features cameos from familiar friends of the show like magician Travis Nye and phantom stranger Neil Stach. We also discuss the need for people in Sioux Falls and South Dakota to broaden their horizons. Brown talks a little bit about small town news vs. real news, as well as digs into some of the myths we believe in this area about issues like human trafficking. You know, lighthearted stuff like that. This week’s local music spotlight is local artist Denham McDermott with the song “Stay.” This episode is sponsored by <a href="http://www.siouxpercon.com/" target="_blank">SiouxperCon 2017: The Sioux Empire Strikes Back.</a> SiouxperCon is a fan convention celebrating several mediums: including comic books, anime, board games, video games, science fiction, and fantasy.
