Tis the season to wonder why we all live in a town covered in non-stop snow.  We here at DDD are pretty much sick of the weather.  We try to turn that frustration around by bringing everyone a brand new, festive, Christmas week episode of Duluth's favorite podcast.  So sit back with a cup of 'nog, snuggle up with you loved ones, and enjoy!  On today's show:

-Listening to X-Mas music

-Drunken cookies

-A theft at a dollar store

-The Gift

Dennis Anderson provides a very smelly Christmas reading

Enjoy!

We're treating this episode as sort of a catch-up show.  Basically this means we tried to get to all the stuff we have been unable to cover on recent episodes due to unforseen circumstances.  On today's show:

-I hate the snow

-Judge Judy follow-up

-The Boy gets in trouble while singing on Channel 10

-LeAnn Wallace: Hard Hitting Journalist

-Maxi Child gives us two good reasons to by the Christmas By The Lake CD

-ALL of the nominees for the 2008 Danny Awards announced!

Enjoy!

Is there any greater feeling then watching a big, nationally syndicated TV show and seeing a few of your fellow local citizens featured on said show?  We submit that there is not.  We have lots and lots of stuff to cover on this episode but we don't get to very much of it thanks to a little angry Jewish woman from New York.  On today's show:

-Vascectomy-Mania

-Duluthians on last night's Judge Judy!

-Two reasons to buy the Christmas By The Lake II CD

Enjoy!

Recently on Danny Does Duluth we have been spending quite a bit of time discussing the process for picking the next Duluthian to fill the open council seat.  We were lucky enough to have two brief conversations with two of the 35 applicants on past episodes, but today we spend the entire episode focusing on another with a bit of a controversial history.  Jay Cole comes onto the show and talks about his qualifications for the job, the controversy in Two Harbors, his feelings on the Northland NewsCenter (and their recent reports on him) and more.  This all makes for a very interesting nearly-hour long interview.  Enjoy.

I am officially getting old.  I managed to see Oasis on Wednesday night in Minneapolis (great show, great seats) but I think spending two hours in a germ-filled arena has taken it's toll.  I am a sick, sick puppy this morning.  However, I am going to do my best to not let this illness stop me from putting out a fresh episode of Danny Does Duluth today.  I have an interview lined up tht promises to be interesting, to say the least.  Will my snot-infested head affect the performance?  You'll have to download later today to find out.

We're just going to come right out and say it.  This one is a doozy.  You know how episodes of Danny Does Duluth are sometimes hit or miss?  Well, this one is definately a hit.  We cover the entire gauntlet from doing our part for the public with yet another interview with an applicant to open council seat to...well...you'll just have to listen through the end to categorize everything else.  How's that for a build up?  On this episode:

-What is the deal with LeAnn Wallace's ridiculous mittens?

-A conversation with Daniel Hartman (applicant to the open council seat)

-Terroristic threats from a councilor wannabe?

-The Dennis Anderson Poopsy Whoopsy Doll

Enjoy!

Time for us to play "journalist" again.  The open at-large city council seat has a total of 35 potential locals who have applied for the job.  We were lucky enough to talk to one of them today.  John Rathe (from duluthpolitics.blogspot.com) has a conversation with Danny about his chances, his detractors, and more.  Also on this episode:

-A conversation with John Rathe

-Danny and Ashley scientifically pick the next councilor

-A major announcement: The 2008 Danny's!

Enjoy!
