The How Long Gone Podcast ended their tour at the Turf Club, in St Paul, yesterday, July 1, 2024. Prior to their final appearance at the Turf Club, the two hosts, Chris Black and Jason Stewart recorded a new show at their hotel in Minneapolis, talking about watching Michael J Fox at the Coldplay set at Glastonbury. They also talked about Tame Impala, and a few other music items… unfortunately the music topics did not carry over to their Turf Club appearance.

Instead, they talked about their appearance at the White House, their $95 haircut, and paying $500 for two disappointing steaks.

The interesting thing is that their photos were shown in the new season of The Bear, a television about a chef and his kitchen staff. I watched the trailer, which has a frame with their photos, and it’s really not a show I’m interested in watching… but I am happy that their reach is far and wide.

You have to admit that it’s really cool that a podcast is touring. It’s proof of their success.

Like the podcast, the live recording of their show was only about an hour, with no opening band or acts. So, literally about an hour, the show is over. At the end, they took some questions from the audience.

One of the questions was about the two-man camera crew recording the show. According to Chris, they were going to put together a Minneapolis video special, which they will be releasing for free. It’s just a matter of time, as they have to work on editing it at a later time.

They also mentioned that since it was their last night of the tour, they were just eager to return home. They are going to take off a week to recover.

In the meantime, be on the look out for their live and uncut podcast at the Turf Club on their website.
