SMIRK is back for another season of short original stories and the conversations they spark! For our opener, we wanted to talk about an issue that is getting away from us as a society. Are you tired of people randomly bringing up politics in every discussion? Do you just want to be able to discuss the weather without Republican or Democrat invading the conversation? We take on the excess of political discussion on this week's episode, and kick off Season 2 with a debate on when is it too much.

Welcome back to Season 2 of SMIRK!

Enjoying SMIRK? Then please be sure to share the show through your social media outlets and review us in your preferred podcast app!

Welcome to Smirk. A podcast that covers society and culture through a storytelling lens. Part creative writing, part discussion, and always interesting. Each week our hosts brings an original story to the show, which is immediately followed by a light-hearted discussion on the author's moral or theme.

These stories can cover any topic the host wants to discuss, it can be lighthearted or more serious. No one but the author knows if these tales are truth or fiction, and part of the fun is guessing while you're listening before the reality is made clear.

We want to hear from you! If you want to share YOUR story, join the conversation by writing in to [email protected], and include your moral, or you can let us guess at it. This is the podcast that looks at truth, fiction, and reality. With a Smirk.
