Okay, Then - A Fargo Retrospective

This is a retrospective review of the FX show "Fargo" by Daria and Jane, two girls in Minnesota: one who is from there and one who moved there.

This is where the show really picks up, and our analysis gets a lot heavier. Daria and Jane do some deep dives on everything from phrases Minnesotans don't say to why someone would be driving to Duluth on backroads.

Daria and Jane invite Bill and Charpie from the "Fargo Talks Fargo" podcast to recap season one, discuss similarities and differences between Minnesotans and North Dakotans, and mostly get off-topic. Midwestern tropes galore.

This week, we take a break from episodes to interview our friend from season one, Tom Musgrave, who played Bo Munk from the insurance shop. Over the time he was generous enough to give us, we discuss living in the Midwest, growing and learning about certain issues, Minneapolis then and now, current events, and of course, a few Fargo anecdotes.
