Podcast: Try That in a Small Town Podcast
Published On: Mon Jan 05 2026
Description: Frozen fingers, live riffs, and zero safety nets. We kick off the year with a behind-the-scenes look at playing a New Year’s Eve set in brutal cold, why we refuse to mime to tracks, and how TV “post-fix” can make a one‑song club cut feel more polished than the real thing. From numb hands at soundcheck to signature licks under pressure, we pull back the curtain on what audiences hear—and what they never see.That honesty sets up two new series we’re launching this year. History Behind the Hits goes inside the songwriting and the moments that turned into staples, while Small Town Stories invites you to send the heroic, un-Googleable tales from your community so we can spotlight one each week. Along the way we argue about language levels, trimming the F‑bombs that don’t serve, and keeping the ones that punch with purpose. We also trade lake house fantasies for the maintenance reality and share a candid family health scare that reminded us how fast life can change.Then we hit the hot button: Dry January and the weight-loss “journey” myth. We’re happy for anyone getting healthier, including those using semaglutide, but we call for clear language when shortcuts do the heavy lifting. The same truth-to-power energy fuels our college football breakdown: Alabama’s 38–3 gut punch, Georgia’s risk-reward calls, and why long layoffs, NIL, and the transfer portal are tilting the sport toward parity and yearly turnover at the top. It’s part therapy, part strategy session, and a promise to keep the conversation grounded in what’s real.If you care about live music, small-town grit, and smarter sports talk, you’re in the right place. Hit follow, share this with a friend who loves a good myth-bust, and drop your Small Town Story for a chance to be featured this season.
