Humming Fools

Sweet Caroline, it's time for another awe-inspiring interview with an awe-inspiring guest, this time with rapper, artist, and creator Baang! Listen and learn why Baang was initially shy with his art, what it was like rapping for his idol Big K.R.I.T., and his intentionality behind including personal audio recordings into his songs. Baang is one of the humblest and most genuine people we’ve had the pleasure of talking to and a great reminder of why we do this show—so go ahead and give this episode a listen, you truly will be better off for engaging with this wonderful soul.

Can we ask you a question? Do you get distracted? If you answered "No" you are a liar and we no longer respect you. If you answered "Yes" then fear not, friend—you're in good company! Today Kyle & Noah are back with a classic discussion episode dishing on all the things that distract them and why. We're not sure how any of this will be helpful to you, but that part isn't in our job description, so you're on your own, sucka! Good luck and try not to get distracted during the episode, okay? That'd be WAY too ironic...

Coming to the end of our Mental Health series, Kyle & Noah close out the series with their individual reflections on the journey, along with viewer responses/questions. It’s by no means perfect (we are fools after all), but overall we were quite happy with the finale and the series itself. Thank you for your stories and for engaging with us; your strength and transparency is inspiring.

Oh, our sweet goodness! Today we have a brand new episode of Humming Fools with Northwest Arkansas Designer & Illustrator, Will Echols. Listen and learn about all the terrible and equally hilarious things Will has gone through in his life, how he landed an epic project with Markham & Fitz Chocolate, and why the man loves photographing bathrooms and writing about them.
