My Hill To Die On

Nate Rudd and Ryan Smith
My Hill To Die On

Everyone has things they are passionate about; things we want our friends to try and experience. So we’ve convinced each other to try different things. We talk about these experiences to see if we can just get one more person to join us on our hill to die on.

    Everyone Had Bought Into His Leadership

    Recorded June 28, 2024 This week, Nate brings the perfect trifecta of “Nate topics” to discuss: He bought (yet another) Synology, expresses his concerns over Cross country event planning, and also talks about a new, old amusement park he visited. Then Ryan endures another Calpis (mango this time), before they discuss books that were influential for the young Nate and Ryan. They then wrap up the episode by discussing detail-oriented writing, being a decent person, and Ryan’s insidious plot to make his student read good books in their discussion of The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.

    Recorded January 7, 2024 Goals, clubs, and the undead! This week Nate and Ryan talk about their new year, new goals (and themes) including the difficulty of normal bedtimes. Then, they discuss informal groups and clubs while having Matcha KitKats and yet another Lemon drink. Finally, as they talk about Terry Pratchett’s “Reaper Man” they discuss how the death of civilization is a shopping center, the differences between a man-wolf and a wolf-man, and Death’s abhorrence of drama.
