Small Town Not Small Minds

Happy Holidays! It’s the last podcast of 2020! Your fav gals Amy and Alix have a mixed bag of topics for this episode ranging from Christmas carol controversies to Millennials vs Gen Z. With that familiar back and forth banter that our listeners have come to love, we’ve wrapped up our first season of the podcast with a neat little bow.

Episode 8 is all about self care. In some ways this is talked about so much and in other ways it’s not talked about enough! There are many different areas of self care, some you may not have thought about before. Amy and Alix talk about each category and what we do to look after ourselves. How do you rate your self care?

Names. Who knew there was so much to talk about? Alix and Amy (or should I say the McSmith sisters) delve into how names contribute to our identity, the cultural impact they have, and you’ll finally know where each of us stand on Elon Musk’s naming abilities.

This week Amy and Alix talk about their favourite things to do to keep busy and have a social life ( in a small or big town). The mix of Amy’s great ideas, paired with Alix’s step by step friend making process is a sure to give you at least one new way to spend your time. Also, if you were hoping this podcast would give you some insight into our love lives our space metaphors are out of this world!

Part two of our get woke folx series. We, along with our friend Kalli, cover the last half of our LGBTQ+ vocabulary, answer which animal we identify with the most, and share the music we’ve been blasting in our house for the past week.

It’s time to get woke folx! This week, Amy & Alix, along with special guest Kalli, play salad-bowl-word-toss. Haven’t heard of it before? That’s because we just made it up! We cover some basic definitions you might hear regarding the LGBTQ+ community. We hope to equip you with some basic vocabulary and conscientious understanding. Let us know what you’ve learned by emailing us at [email protected] or on our insta @smalltownnotsmallminds

With Amy’s list of carefully constructed questions we dive into personal aspects of Alix’s life. Described as “our best work yet” (by our own cohost Amy) listen for some laugh out louds!

It’s time to get to know your oldest host, Amy! Dive in as Alix hits her with some fun questions in an interview format.

More of a teaser than anything, the first episode answers what this podcast is all about and why you should listen.
