Podcasts
On each episode, we concoct an original short story of our own, spurring into conversation on the moral of the tale and wherever that rabbit hole leads. It’s a healthy mix of truth, fiction, and reality. With a Smirk.

The Ballot Is Stronger Than The Bullet
SMIRK is back for another season of short original stories and the conversations they spark! For our opener, we wanted to talk about an issue that is getting away from us as a society. Are you tired of people randomly bringing up politics in every discussion? Do you just want to be able to discuss the weather without Republican or Democrat invading the conversation? We take on the excess of political discussion on this week’s episode, and kick off Season 2 with a debate on when is it too much.
Welcome back to Season 2 of SMIRK!
