Nate Smith's Talk Practice Podcast

This episode starts with coffee, laptops, creativity, and why I have such a complicated relationship with technology AI and should artists use it? That rabbit hole somehow leads into documentaries, storytelling, acting, relationships, inspiration, and eventually a theory I've been obsessed with for years:... Why rock and roll might be the greatest artistic movement of all time. Not because it's ob...

Practice, man! Went live on YouTube and rambled about Pros & cons of being a yes or a no man, my SWEET trip to Detroit to see one of my favorite bands ever, Biffy Clyro. My most boring week ever, which included getting into Outlander, and being disconnected. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I talk through why I dropped the “Sunday” from the show why practice matters more than polish, and why sometimes the only way to figure out what you think is to say it out loud. We get into Stranger Things, why staggered releases create better conversation, and why people don’t actually hate bad endings — they hate endings that don’t match their expectations. From there, things get personal. I tal...

Happy Holidays! I sat down in my living room with the Christmas tree for today's Christmas morning Talk Practice to break down all of the impending changes to the channel, why rock reactions are leaving and where to find them. I also have a story about a VERY Griswoldian thing to happen last night! All failures are futures successes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week I’m talking through a few things bouncing around my head: awkward Cub Scout caroling, why political ads are suddenly everywhere online even when it’s not campaign season, and a strange connection I made while watching It’s a Wonderful Life that sent me down a spiral about pressure, breaking points, and how close we all are to snapping. No scripts. No hot takes for the sake of hot takes....

On today’s episode of Things I Woulda Posted On Socials, I talked about my weight loss, some lady thought I looked like a fisherman and I wonder how many of my friends think I blocked them after I deleted my socials. https://linktr.ee/we3smiths Hosted on Acast.

We started talking about when is the right time to ask to speak to the manager. Then our ADD took over from there. The social media cesspool, are we way to connected. Turn your locations off! Are there such a thing as ethical businesses? My newfangled rock n roll hair is the envy of all my women coworkers & more. How did our little project turn into 15 episodes!!! This podcast features my grea...

Episode 14! On today's podcast, Brian is a picky eater because his ancestors were super tasters. Weird. Nate told a hilariously awful basic training story that caused his beet trauma and our ADHD took over from there because we ended up talking the worst ways to die, which may or may not include space. This podcast features my great friend and former rock radio co-worker, Brian Pfiefer, also known...

On Episode 13, Brian and Nate both faced and conquered fears and how we deal with our rage issues. Have you heard the "Rose was the actual villain in Titanic" conspiracy theory?

Nate's inexplicable hatred for Bill Paxton & Brendan Frasier continues, Brian got mistaken for a methhead, and a guy is trying to buy a dump because he's at least, hopefully, pretty sure that his hard drive worth around $700 Millions.

The garbage between the between the pro rasslin' tag team, The New Soviets & Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office was one of the grossest events I've either seen or read about in 50 years as an American.

How I grew up politically, and was probably a hair away from being a racist until talk radio helped change my mindset (Sounds counterintuitive but it's true), my lifelong hatred of Donald Trump, how I was wrong about Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard & Joe Rogan and really just some good old-fashioned blasphemy from someone that is tired of religion putting their fingers in my salad. Weeeeeeeeeee, let'...
