Kyle Talks
by Kyle Horton
Welcome to Kyle Talks, where I’m Kyle and we talk! In this podcast we focus on society, culture, & business! We interview amateurs, professionals, winners and those who are struggling along the way. What can we learn from society and how can we participate in culture? What does creating culture look like for rap artists, producers, youtubers, and even streamers? What’s this health professionals' ideology behind modern science? How can I be better? More important;y, is a hotdog a sandwich? On this podcast our goal is to talk to anyone and everyone. To learn, laugh, cry, and even create with others. We create a culture of communication, learning, and laughs. We sit down with people from all different walks of life, chat with them, and laugh with them. At Kyle Talk’s the name of the game is connection. So, go ahead, download a couple of episodes and get plugged into community and culture! Let’s talk!
