DeAnne Smith's Questionable At Best

This week’s question: How could I just let you walk away? Just let you leave without a trace?

This week’s quote: “I’m a contributing member of society and I do the god damn best I can.” (Or: “If you made me a delicious smoothie…I would probably take off my underwear.”)

It’s solo podcast time! Sherwin Tija provided the questions and I answered them, meanderingly. Satisfy your curiosity about the weapon I’d like to master, the shape of my heart, and whether or not I can sing Miley Cyrus’s Party in the U.S.A. (I can’t.) I believe there’s a little nuggety gem of goodness for you in here if you listen to the very end, and like sappiness and fireflies.

This week’s question: What’s it like to be you?

This week’s quote: “”I’m a fucking joy.”

Do you know Brittani Nichols? Well, you’re about to. This conversation got real, fast. It’s also full of laughing. Hilarious realness, real hilariousness…your call.

This week’s question: Is there such a thing as being in a good place?

This week’s quote: “”If you are someone without a sense of humor and you go into a dark place, you are truly one of God’s damned.”

Nick and I sat in dark parked car somewhere in Lo-Ho and definitely didn’t answer this question. Somehow, though, I think this podcast ended up in a good place. Hopefully you agree. Warning: lots of giggling.

This week’s question: How much fun is being sober?

This week’s quote: “Lots of fun. So much fun.”

My buddy Dan and I talk about life after alcohol. It’s so much fun! But then again, so were those drinking days. Listen for Dan’s wisdom…and a few good stories from his past.

This week’s question: Am I right for you?

This week’s quote: “We’re all just humans on this planet. Put a smile on it.”

With podcast hour upon me and with nothing recorded this week, I headed to the internet for inspiration. Instead of one question, we have 50 (well, 26), from Thought Catalog’s article “50 Questions to Ask Your Crush to See if They’re Right for You.” I recommend asking your crush none of these questions; you’ll see why.

This week’s question: What’s up with cougars?

This week’s quote: “FINE. Let’s embrace this.”

We talked about the ladies, not the giant cats. Actually, we talked about the term cougar, and animal print clothing. And Dayna’s very cool performance art piece. Dig in. Check out Daynarama.com to see Dayna’s portfolio, and CougarThis.com for an archive of her project. (And that sweet photo? It was taken by Pierre Dalpé)

This week’s question: Is there a god?

This week’s quote: “A conscious entity that’s decided to do this? That’s ridiculous.”

A chick raised Episcopalian (don’t worry, I don’t know what that means either) and a former Jehovah’s witness kick around this doozy. And you know what? We come up with a pretty god damn (sorry) definitive answer.

This week’s question: How important is experience for good sex?

This week’s quote: “It’s much easier than most people think.”

This podcast sprang from a real-life conversation I was having with a smart, sex-positive friend. Within minutes, you’ll hear us decide that experience isn’t the most important thing for good sex. What is? Listen in. Emilie drops some practical wisdom.

This week’s question: What are your resolutions?

This week’s quote: “Are resolutions even a thing that people should be making?”

This week’s is a solo podcast. Things tend to get weird and interesting when I’m alone in a room with a microphone. My new cat Tarzan makes an appearance, as does my actual, real-life phone number. WHY?! Don’t make me regret this. (I already do.) Also, I have a cold. You’ll hear that.

This week’s question: What’s up with your voice?

This week’s quote: “I don’t speak very much in real life.”

I spoke to an introverted drummer about all things voice. Speaking voice, singing voice, inner voice, The Voice…wow, that word looks weird the more I type it. Stayed tuned ’til the end for…well, you’ll see.
