Episode #38 is up- This week Matt sits down with Satish “Catfish” Athelli & Gary Spiker, both of the Prescott Valley Event Center.

They talk the past, present, and future of the arena, upcoming events, the recent bankruptcy- re-org, and what it means for the community, and this Saturdays Prescott  911 Memorial Stair Climb– an event to honor the firefighters who lost their lives both in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and, closer to home, the Yarnell Hill Fire.

Check out www.prescottvalleyeventcenter.com for info on this and all upcoming events.

Episode #37 is up- This week Matt sits down with Chino Valley, AZ  mayor Chris Marley & newly appointed council member Corey Mendoza.

Listen in as the trio talk politics, challenges of small town living, the process to fill not 1,not 2, but SEVEN  council openings in a small town of only 10,000.

This episode was recorded at Arturo’s Mexican Restaurant in Chino Valley, AZ and sponsored by the Gabby’s Kitchen family of restaurants, including Gabby’s Grill in Prescott Valley.

Episode #36 is up- This week Matt sits down with Chris Presson, President of the AFL’s Arizona Rattlers. They sat down to record just before the Rattlers took the field against the Spokane Shock.

Before taking the reins of the Rattlers, Presson held a similar position with the Arizona Sundogs, of the CHL where our host served as team photographer for several years.

The two talk football, Prescott area economy, hockey, publicity stunts, and the seemingly bad mojo Matt appears to bring to professional sports arenas.

Sit back, enjoy the conversation and listen to a few fans tell why they love the Snake Pit.


One of this week’s game promos was The Chandler Bears, a Valley youth football program at the arena raising money for their upcoming season.

Episode #35 is up- This week Matt sits down with 5-year old son Anthony as they talk Kindergarten, a big step for
both Pop & son, and Matt gets parenting advice at a bar from Michael Lewis & Stevan Worden of the band Salt of the Earth.  Last week’s guest Leslie Earl Lyman throws in his two cents as well as they all sit back in the patio at Brick & Bones Moonshine Bar & Bistro.

Catch Salt of the Earth August 21^st at The Black Hole Beer Company and September 6^th at the Historic Bird Cage Saloon on Prescott’s famed Whiskey Row.

Episode #34 is up- This week Matt sits down with local musician Leslie Earl Lyman, not as our host called him James Earl Jones or James Earl Ray- Les talks about his life in music, his time in AZ, & the Prescott music scene.

Our intro music today is by Decker, who can be found at www.deckermusic.com – we hope to have the folks from Decker on the show soon, stay tuned for that & download their CD Patsy.

Outro music is “Zeus” by Leslie Earl Lyman- look for his CD sometime this fall.

Today’s episode was recorded at Brick and Bones Moonshine Bar & Bistro and sponsored (again unknowingly) by Prescott Dentistry– check them out & tell them The Mile High Show sent you- before they serve us with a cease & desist.
