Qwerpline
Qwerpline is a podcast from LoadingReadyRun starring Graham Stark, Alex Steacy with guests. The most popular radio show on QWRP FM from scenic nsburg, Qwerpline is full of curious characters and local interests.
Setting
nsburg is a community in rural North America of the sort where the pool hall is referred to as "Town Hall". The city's primary industry (or one of them) is turnips, and raccoon pelts have at times been accepted as currency. Two of its prominent neighborhoods are West Sump Acres, where the public library is located, and East Sump Acres, home to the sewage stream. It is located within Therpston county near the community of Jewelsburg.
nsburg is located on the Shaughnessy River, and for a brief time was also on the Shaughnessy River II, created after beavers dammed the main river. The Shaughnessy Highway 3 runs alongside the river (and the Shaughnessy River II ran through the Shaughnessy Highway 3). Rather interestingly nsburg has been landlocked since the 1870s.
Shaughnessy Highway 3 is home to nsburg's most famous and historically significant tourist attraction, the Berbishire pot holes. Located between Berbishire drive and Cresent Cresent the holes are dedicated by the mayor with celebrities who visit being given the key of the pot hole. The holes briefly disappeared causing much concern but soon returned after the Shaughnessy River II receded.
Events
- nsburg Harvest Festival - An October tradition with all sorts of local character.
Activities at the Harvest Festival include a Large vegetable competition and Pet show which includes such competitions as Freestyle Fluff and Synchronized Comb-Off. Many local businesses set up stalls to ply their wares. Parking can be problematic as there is a 2 hour limit. Presiding over the activities is the tradition Turnip Queen... who is the same nearly every year because it's a hereditary monarchy.
