Pat’s guest was Sioux Falls City Councilor, Christine Erickson. Pat drilled Christine about her and Neitzert getting their panties in a bunch over Knobe’s ethics comments. What I find funny is if you don’t think you did anything wrong ‘ethically’ why do you care what Knobe says? I think your reaction speaks volumes about your guilty conscious.
This past week Pat hosted my good friend Matt Fockler. Matt and I have been friends for over 20 years and used to have a radio show on KAUR called the ‘Mutt & Squat’ show. We mostly got into a lot of trouble because we wouldn’t follow programming rules. Hey, we were volunteers, who cares! We also created the club ‘Chickens are Fun’ (which was mostly just an excuse to make bumper stickers) and I named one of Matt’s former bands, ‘Billy Goat Edsel’. I have also helped him with countless graphic design projects. Matt has written many songs for well known musicians throughout the years. Besides Rich Show and Jesse Christen, Matt is one of the more talented songwriters locally, he also tells great stories. I’m proud to call him my friend.
I was told to listen to this podcast from a few weeks ago. Argus Leader reporter, J. Ellis talks about investigative reporting, remembering Kermit Staggers and the communication skills of TenHaken’s office. Good stuff.
Pat’s guests this week were councilors Starr and Brekke. It was a great discussion about the lack of transparency and communication coming from the Mayor’s Administration and how it reminds us of the last administration’s lack of it also, even though there is different players.
Pat Lalley also rips on the councilors for not standing up to Video Lottery in our community, and I agree!
