Up To Talk is a podcast by Blake Small and Emily Stillman about topics in young adulthood that aren’t talked about enough. Our uncut (mostly) conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes serious and always meant to get a bigger discussion started. Are you up to talk?

In our first episode we sat down to reminisce about our college glory days, discuss why it’s so hard to talk about binge drinking, and how our view of the party scene changed as we grew up.
