• Ep. 50 - Nonsense @ Nine - The half century mark
    Apr 18 2026

    Episode 50 is packed with classic Nonsense @ Nine chaos. Dan the Man kicks things off with more Harry Potter talk, while Will the Thrill joins by phone to chat Menahga and break down his trip to Florida. The crew also dives into a review of the GRR Outdoors podcast, somehow manages to squeeze 18 holes into 18 minutes, and watches as Max’s Meltdown gets especially heated. Max also pulls off a harmonica fake-out that had everybody fooled, and the episode wraps with a special music segment from Max himself. Another wild night of laughs, stories, and nonsense you won’t want to miss.

  • Ep. 49 - GRR Outdoors - Wild Game Secrets with Hank Shaw
    Apr 17 2026

    Join Gravel Roads Radio Outdoors for a warm, wide-ranging conversation with award-winning wild game chef Hank Shaw — the man behind HuntGatherCook.com and the Substack To The Bone. We dive into Hank’s journey from newspaper reporting and commercial fishing to becoming a trusted voice on cooking venison, preparing offal (yes, really), and turning backyard prairie plantings into wildlife habitat. He shares practical tips on aging and handling deer, how to cook tough cuts like shanks (low and slow!), tricks for judging doneness without a thermometer, and why you shouldn’t grind every tough cut.

    Hank also walks us through foraging season basics — ramps, nettles, dandelion uses — and offers straightforward, no-nonsense advice for people curious about organ meats, turkey cooking (Jake vs. longbeard), and even oddball species like burbot and carp. The chat is full of memorable hunting stories, kitchen-tested recipes, and the kind of approachable, hands-on wisdom that makes wild foods delicious and accessible. If you’re into hunting, foraging, or just want to get more adventurous in the kitchen with ethically sourced meat, Hank’s tips will up your game.

    Find Hank at huntgathercook.com, on Instagram at @HuntGatherCook, or read his Substack To The Bone. Grab one of his signed cookbooks (we’ve got three to give away) and get ready to learn how to make the most of every part of the animal — even the parts most folks throw away.

  • Ep. 48 - Nonsense @ Nine - The return of Nate Hillstrom
    Apr 11 2026

    Episode 48 brings the chaos right away as Dan the Man kicks things off with some Harry Potter knowledge before the guys dive into another classic night of laughs, sports talk, and complete nonsense. Nate Hillstrom joins the show again, the conversation turns to golf, and the crew even gives Jack a call along the way. As expected, things spiral into full meltdown territory with just about everyone losing it at some point, but Ryno steals the spotlight with an absolutely elite ad read. It’s another fun, unpredictable episode packed with the kind of moments that make Nonsense @ Nine what it is.

  • Ep. 47 - Nonsense @ Nine - The Jeff Janks cast
    Apr 4 2026

    Dan the Man opened the show, then Jeffery Janckila joined in to share old stories from the past. A big chunk of the night was spent reliving Easter at the Andersons and the legendary hiding skills of the Easter Bunny. The guys also talked golf, club fitting, Max had a meltdown, and overall it was just a fun episode.

  • Ep. 46 - Nonsense @ Nine - The cheesecake show featuring Nate Hillstrom and Tyler Niemela
    Mar 29 2026

    Dan opened the show and talked camping before debuting his first-ever meltdown. From there, things went wonderfully off the rails when Nate Hillstrom and Tyler Niemela showed up with cheesecake. Nate hopped into the interview seat, Tyler added to the chaos, and we mostly got to our topics… kind of. Easily one of the most chaotic episodes of Nonsense @ Nine yet.

  • Ep. 45 - Nonsense @ Nine - The Steve and Ron show
    Mar 21 2026

    Episode 45 of Nonsense at Nine has a little bit of everything. Dan the Man leads the way with talk about World Down Syndrome Day, the future of the Ron and Steve Show, and of course, some Harry Potter discussion. The crew also gets into the nice weather, spring break, and a full lineup of meltdowns—especially from Steve. Max breaks out the harmonica, Ryan gives his thoughts on the elite burritos at Forget Me Not Cafe, and plenty of other nonsense finds its way into the show. Stick around to the very end for the debut of GRR After Dark.

  • Ep. 44 - Nonsense @ Nine - Blizzard edition 2.0
    Mar 16 2026

    Episode 44 of Gravel Roads Radio got off to a less-than-smooth start with technical difficulties that lasted so long Dan the Man never even got to kick things off properly. From there, the crew talked about the big “blizzard,” took a trip down memory lane by blind ranking old phy. ed activities from their days at Dassel-Cokato Schools, and witnessed the rarest event of all: Ron actually liked food. They also spent some time practicing for their upcoming Enterprise Dispatch interview, which went about as seriously as you’d expect. Another classic episode full of small-town chaos, laughs, and Gravel Roads nonsense.

  • Ep. 43 - Nonsense @ Nine - What are we even doing? 2.0.
    Mar 7 2026

    Episode 43 of Gravel Roads Radio is a little all over the place… just the way we like it. Dan the Man stopped by and somehow we covered Harry Potter, American Ninja Warrior, and Florida all in one conversation. We also brought Max in for an interview, introduced the brand new segment “Ron Doesn’t Sing,” and took on a blind ranking of cereals.

    Of course, things got sidetracked when the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament stole our attention, and it wouldn’t be a full episode without Max’s Meltdown making an appearance. There was also some food talk mixed in there somewhere… probably.

    A little sports, a little nonsense, a little chaos — pretty standard stuff for Gravel Roads Radio.
