    Zip-to-Zap: “A Crazy Idea to Have Fun" with Chuck Stroup

    In this first ever episode of the Midwest Hotdish podcast, Lauren gets the honor of chatting with the guy behind Zip-to-Zap, a party that shook up the sleepy town of Zap, North Dakota in the spring of 1969 and continues to live on as legendary ND folklore. Chuck explains how the party came to be, what they were drinking, what they were thinking, and what his life has been like since. Chuck is an incredibly insightful, reflective man, a great storyteller, and... as Lauren tells him at the end of their conversation... #goals.
