    The You Matter charity beard and mustache competition has taken the "bearding" community by storm, quickly becoming one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. This year, the event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with 14 different beard and mustache styles on display, as well as a creative "build off" for those looking to show off their crafty skills.
    Hosted at the Historic Casino Hall in La Grange TX, this event is not to be missed. Shannon Clinkenbeard, the event organizer, joins Talking Beards to give us the inside scoop on all the exciting details. With a long list of generous sponsors, there will be plenty of great raffle and auction items up for grabs.
    But this event is more than just a fun competition. It's a chance to give back to the community. All proceeds from the event will benefit The Wellness Council of the Greater Colorado Valley, a local charity doing important work to promote health and wellness in the area.
    Talking Beards hosts Aaron and Scott are personally invested in this event and can't wait to see you there. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this exciting and meaningful event. For more information on the event and the charity it supports, visit:

    Nationals re-cap

    Nationals re-cap

    Welcome to a special Wednesday night episode of Talking Beards, where we dive into all things facial hair. Tonight, we'll be discussing the highly anticipated 2023 National Beard & Moustache Championships.
    As with any major event, there are pros and cons to consider. On one hand, the championships provide a platform for enthusiasts to showcase their impressive facial hair styles and compete against other like-minded individuals from across the country. It's an opportunity to connect with fellow beard lovers and celebrate all that is unique about our hairy features.
    However, on the other hand, these types of events can also be incredibly competitive and stressful for participants. The pressure to perform at such a high level can be overwhelming, leading some competitors to resort to less-than-ethical tactics in order to gain an edge over their opponents.
    But let's not forget about the upcoming events! There are so many exciting opportunities on the horizon for those passionate about facial hair. From local competitions to international gatherings, there is no shortage of ways to get involved in this vibrant community.
    Before we wrap up tonight's episode, we want to take a moment to acknowledge Natali's recent kidney transplant. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to having her back on the show soon.
    Thanks for tuning in, folks! Stay tuned for more Talking Beards coming your way soon.

A bunch of studs!

These guys are just lovely! Scott & Aaron provide great insight into the charitable competitive bearding circuit (yes that’s a thing). For those of us that are a part of the community, this is a great show to hear about upcoming events, or to learn how others go about organizing their events. I know I’ve learned a few things from this show and I’ve been organizing competitions for over 10 years now. I would suggest listening even if competitive bearding isn’t your thing, it’s just an all around entertaining show.

Allen the Vegan ,

Awesome community

Is it 8:00pm Tuesday evening? Yeah! Talking Beards is live! But if you missed it or if you didn’t, you can relive it here. Talking Beards is a great window into the lifestyle and family of the bearding community. A fun, informative reflection of the men and women that gather around the country, and world, in an effort to support each other, and make a positive difference in a myriad of ways.
Beard clubs around the world form to support causes and charities, from individuals to world wide organizations. Talking beards formed to support these clubs. Aaron and Scott (both featuring the most prestigious beard style, goatee) are amazing hosts that bring their friendship to share with the bearding community.

Kyle Waller ,

Honestly a must watch

Aaron and Scott have great chemistry as host of Talking Beards and bring great content revolving around Beards and the charities that bearding events benefit. If you want to know anything about the beard community then listening to this podcast is a must.
