Welcome to NFNPPOD Productions — an independent podcast network built around sharp conversation, strong perspectives, and Midwest roots. At the center is The Notorious Friday Night Posse (NFNP) — where friends with 40-year-old wisdom and 20-year-old humor break down life, headlines, and everything in between. We’re not experts. We’re not influencers. We’re real people having real conversations about the stories that make you laugh, think, or shake your head. Each week, NFNP dives into the most ridiculous, thought-provoking, or entertaining topics — from tech and politics to conspiracy theories, history, and the stranger corners of pop culture. Under the same umbrella, you’ll also find City SC Posse — a dedicated St. Louis City SC series delivering fast 15–20 minute match recaps, player takes, coaching decisions, stadium atmosphere, and what’s next. Soccer first. Always. One feed. Multiple series. Same energy. So, crack a beer, pull up a chair, and join the Posse.

Screw You China

We go deep on Starbucks as a “coffee bank”—gift cards, breakage, and why rewards make your balance feel free when it’s not. We hit the siren logo (myth vs marketing), CEO pay vs baristas, and the difference between lobbying and splashy donation narratives. Local in the Lou covers the Gateway Arch highway rethink and Missouri’s lawsuit against China, plus CITY SC’s new coach. We round it out with online fraud basics, EV safety tradeoffs, gun-violence stats, and the inflation/currency/Bitcoin argument you’ll hear at every holiday party. Conservative comedy, St. Louis flavor, usable money takes.
