Some Say High Speed Rail is Dead, Now Can We All Get Along… Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

EPISODE 015 – Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed to spell the end of High Speed Rail with his State of the State Speech in February 2019. And certainly HSR opponents were celebrating. But Craig Scharton believes this might be just what Central California needs to get people to come together behind building some good transportation infrastructure that can benefit Fresno and the state. He explains his theory to the other Two Guy, Paul Swearengin in this podcast! For more on the Two Guys take on why they do the podcast, check out this episode.

#011 – Two Guys Flowing with Famous, Part 1 Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

This week our Two Guys are “standing on the shoulders of titans” as they visit with the original podcast of Fresno – “Flowing with Famous.” Flowing with Famous was started in 2004 and discusses “stuff like Fresno culture, music, media, biking, beer, politics and whatever else is on the minds of Fresnans.” Our Two Guys, Craig Scharton and Paul Swearengin have fun with current “Flowing” hosts Joshua Teehee and Michael Seay. What’s the best pizza in town? And if the Grizzlies were to rename the team, what would a good name be. Have fun discussing some of Fresno’s entertainment and entertainment history with the originals of Fresno Podcasting as the Two Guys are Flowing with Famous! By the way, the show was so good, we made two of them. This is part one.

Show notes

Craig Scharton is THE Fresno expert on parking. In follow up to a lively Facebook discussion about parking, our two guys, Craig and Paul Swearengin chew on parking in Fresno a bit and how managing parking in Downtown can be as important or more so than offering free parking as is the habit in North Fresno. Also, in tribute to recently deceased love of Fresno, David McDonald, our two guys talk about Measure P and the importance of parks and the vision Fresno needs to get through the divide of the recent vote on this measure.
