SN5:EP15 "Ham & Table"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
A strolling inventory of the chicharrones, fresh spices, and Llama-cop piñatas at the vibrant Lowe's Supermercado in Denver, CO. Comedian Adrian Mesa @mesathings gives @bambifransworth a crash course on Cuban cuisine and presents a compelling case for his theory of pretentious restaurant naming.

Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
From Denver to LA via a Dropbox Homing pigeon, @sethandthecity collaborates with @bambifransworth on a very special @wanderingaisles. The show is comprised of two audio letters, a clip of one of Seth's greatest standup bits, and brand new music from @thefriendshipsband, his musical partnership with @ryamcownie

SN5:EP13 "The Bachelor"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
An afternoon with one of my real-deal, go-to friends here in Denver, Alex Elliott @alexelliottpics. And by afternoon, I mean the better part of an entire afternoon. (Mostly Sprouts and us just talking in my truck.) I didn't cut much because it's really hard to get tired of this guy. He's a genuine, wise, cat who never brags or name drops AT ALL even though he totally could. We were months into our friendship before he casually mentioned he was a finalist to be on "The Bachelor." Stuff like that.

SN5:EP12 "Sizzling with Sharad"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
@Insanebrownposse (BK Sharad) joins Andy in the search for fatherly comedy affirmation, talks being brown in Colorado, and cooks bacon the entire time he's on the phone. There's considerable soul-searching, faltering, questionable monologue-ing in this one so if you're itching to cancel somebody get that notepad out.

SN5:EP11 "Witch Target"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
Ritualcraft (Target for Denver Witches) and Botanica Yemaya with massage therapist, hand witch, and healing artist, Abby Jane Palmer @abbyjanepalmer. We slash through the shame forests of our religious upbringings and find our way into the clearing of a more inclusive and freeing spirituality. Sex, magic, and good-touch karma flowing through this episode.

SN5:EP10 "The Edge of Denver"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
What begins as a failed trip to REI for a hat, becomes Steve Vanderploeg @slumdogchillionaire giving @bambifransworth a surprise visit to the now-defunct "Dog the Bounty Hunter" retail store. We walk Sloan's Lake and find the solace of our earliest curse words among the wary pandemic ducks. Support Wandering the Aisles on Patreon.

SN5:EP9 "But You White"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
First, a fiercely compassionate and steely listener letter from Kisha Baskin--Andy's Junior High School friend who, maybe on accident, changed the direction of his life by telling him he was funny. And meant it.

SN5:EP8 "What We Hear"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
@wanderingaisles went quiet Wednesday out of respect for Black Lives Matter. Before we get back on schedule next week, I've put together a couple timely, stripped down episodes for today and Sunday in honor of George Floyd and BLM. A collage offering of sturdy angles, devoid of my usual monologues and cutaways.

SN5:EP7 "A Brother Runs Through it"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
Eeland Stribling @blacksteveirwin is: a killer Denver comic, major part of the @brownfolksfishing project, and co-host of "Get Home Safe" podcast. We start with a King Soopers and trade our takes on: trout fishing and race; religion; carbonated Hawaiian Punch; and Ireland (or what he calls "White People's Africa"). This is a longer episode for you to live in and one of the best recorded evenings in the history of @wanderingaisles. Support the show at Patreon.com/WanderingTheAisles or just tell a friend.

SN5:EP6 "Too Many Wizards"
Wandering the Aisles with Andy Farnsworth
@haleydrizcoll is our traveling companion today. The joyous peril begins with a traditional pre-show de-crystalling ceremony in front of Andy's place. Then: it's fronting English in front of a Natural Grocers; talking exchange students at a mile-high Asian market; soccer hooligans in a middle school parking lot at sunset; and a suburban Vaquero appearing out of the vapor to guide our spirits back home. Support @wanderingaisles at Patreon.com/WanderingTheAisles.
info_outlineMy collaborator in meandering today is @benkronberg. Co-proprietor of The Denver Comedy Lounge, Ben lives in his own county. And that county is not located on the surface of this planet. Kronberg county is INSIDE the planet. He lives in a small, underground museum deep within the Earth’s crust. There is an access tunnel to it covered by a place he refers to as quote “his girlfriend’s house.”
If you Google Ben Kronberg, not only will you find his killer sets on Late Night with Seth Myers, John Oliver’s New York Standup Show, and Last Comic Standing, but you will also find a webpage for a scientist doing chemicals research, which, to be honest, is—I’m not sure if it’s today’s Ben Kronberg or not.
The show begins with some loud banjo music, me picking Ben up, and a brief deliberation about how we’re gonna do this with masks on. We head off to a grocery store in downtown Denver, a tobacco place, and one of those “You don’t have to make me wear a mask rallies” at the Capitol building.
