One year ago we journeyed to the Radium City Brewery to see if the rumors of a locally made beer were true. We knew it was going to be something special when we tasted our first Radium City beer. Now, one year later, we have seen Radium City Brew expand to multiple restaurant and liquors stores around the Illinois Valley and Starved Rock Country. We were super pumped to sit down with Dennis, Adam, and Brian to catch up on things and see what the future holds for the best beer around.

The podcast returns with this beauty of a show. We talk a little about our summer fun and then a little story/lesson on our website outage. After that we hit up a bunch of topics like Mike Tyson's Punch Out, the local craft brew scene thanks to Radium City Brewery, Tangled Roots Brewery, and the Starved Rock Brewing Company. Fishing at the Hennepin Hopper Lakes was opened up, and reported to be awesome. Eating fish out of the river not too bad...? Then it gets deep with some relationship advice, Dreamwave Wrestling excitement, and a shout out to the awesome sports coverage from the local papers on Twitter. We finish up with John's soccer secret and a wrap up of the first ever IVpod Summer Movie League.

Tim hosted the popular Wizzard's Juke Joint for over 30 years playing hits from the mid-50's to the early 70's. The radio show recently came to an end with the announcement that the Wizzard would be retiring. On the show we talk to Tim about music, his start in radio, his retirement, and plenty of random streams of consciousness. We also do our best to coax the Wizzard back onto the airwaves, but perhaps in a new form...

This week we are diving into the IVpod vaults and rebroadcasting Episode 29 - Frederick W. Matthiessen - IV All-Stars 1B. This episode was posted back on November 30th, 2011. Around the area, the man's name is best associated with the natural wonders of Matthiessen State Park, just a jog away from Starved Rock State Park. While this is certainly no small attribution, many don't know just how important the man was to the area.

 

Also this week we talk about some more current issues of the day including the hot debates in Utica. We give our run down on the IVAR trivia night event, plus we paid a visit to O-nett Gaming. We have our usual segments and some fun rambling too. Rock on.

 

This week we also hope you can check out Cops 4 Cancer. The charity program raises money for local families affected by cancer. It's a great program and they have upcoming events you should check out. They are on Facebook, Twitter, and their website. www.cops4cancer.com

Now that we have a few episodes under our belts, we thought "how about some 'Best of' episodes..?" This week we have our first “Best of IVpod” episode, and this one features segments of our first 3 interviews. We start with John’s brother, Bob Spelich, who joins the team to discuss the effect of the brain drain. After that, Brian Gift enters the booth to discuss the iFiber project. Finally, the team is joined by fellow IV podcaster, Nick Logan, to educate everyone on Magic and all things nerdy.

Instead of sponsors this week, we want to spread the word about a fun charity event that is right around the corner. The Cedar Point Classic will be on July 13th and 14th in Cedar Point and will involve a big softball tournament and music festival. All proceeds from the event will go to the Cedar Point Fire Department. Check it out..!
