Out of Trouble is a pattern interrupting podcast. “Pattern Interruption” can be anything you say or do that creates a disruption needed to refresh and refocus the mind. What you’ll hear is a collection of interviews, conversations, sounds, and occurrences— all narrated and bound together by a theme.
By Nikolas Harter out of the land of San Francisco, Out of Trouble is meant to distract from the existential angst that descends upon us at night, or any time. This show is my audio blog. It showcases scenes from my life and life around me as I capture and create special moments. Whether it’s street interviews, intimate conversations with friends or family, or clips pulled off of the internet, I use my years of experience telling stories and editing audio to put together a thoughtfully crafted experience for you each week.
My ultimate goals with this podcast is to know myself better, to become the best storyteller I can be, and to transform podcasting by inspiring other independent podcasters to try out narration and storytelling. I believe that podcasts will transform non-fiction, and broaden our perspectives of the world, by opening the door to experiences rarely heard in traditional media. Podcasting is an inherently intimate medium. TV cameras can’t go where audio recorders can go. This show explores that potential.

30. Standups Pt.1
“Standups” is a term from journalism, it refers to when a reporter is out in the field and narrates what’s going on around them. It’s a storytelling device. This is the first edition of some not so random standups that I recorded and stitched together. These particular standups are from last summer, during the beginning...

29. Death with Grandma
In this episode I talk with my Grandma about her feelings about death. Her grandfather owned a funeral home where the family would gather when she was a kid, death has been a presence in her life since then. Yet it’s something she’s never thought too deeply about. Death was just a fact of life...

28. Chocolate Chip Nips
This episode, despite its provocative title, is a heartwarming ode to my family. I visited them in Virginia last summer, they live in the suburbs outside of Washington D.C. My sister and I were there to help take care of my grandma who just had spinal surgery, but it was also a chance to hang...
Customer Reviews
Such high quality, and it’s so intersting
Reminds me of like a more thoughtful version of a Casey Neistat vlog but for podcasting.
Love it
Funny and very well put together! Keep up the great content
Very good production, very uninteresting content.
Professional quality production, but the content is just so dull and uninteresting.
