This past weekend, Fancy Pants Gangsters, the netcast network that has brought you great ska podcasts like Midwest Ska Moment and the Flyover Ska Show, was featured in Twin Cities Metro Magazine.  The article, entitled “Meet The Gangsters Of Internet Broadcasting” had this to say about MNSKA.com admin Courtney Klos and his podcast:

The group’s downloadable shows, or netcasts (it’s not technically a not a “podcast” unless you’re using an iPod), include “The Well-Fed Guide to Life,” in which Pedersen and Dave Bergen host a talk show from a different restaurant every week, (in a recent show they reminisced about shopping at IKEA while eating hot dogs and seeing the movie Saw while eating “pig parts”);  “Yet Another Gaming Show,” where Pederson joins Mike Deneen, Courtney Klos and Ashley Hay to discuss gaming news (like Playstation phone releases and facial recognition in video games) and “Flyover Ska Show,” where Klos interviews artists, bloggers and DJs involved in the ska revolution — and more. The Fancy Pants Gangsters cover a wide spectrum of pop-culture topics, and they’re still evolving.
