The KNTA Podcast

POV: you're in your 20s, the world is coming out of a pandemic, your college community has perhaps moved away or elsewise dissipated. You take a chance on an invite to join something silly, an adult recreational kickball team. That decision completely changes your life... Welcome to the Kicking Names Taking Ass podcast where, one episode at a time, host and team member Emma Martens interviews her fellow teammates. With a bench stacked almost 30 deep, it's going to take a while, so pull up a chair and get comfortable as we kick some names and tape some pods.

    Finding Your Small Pond w/ Addie Thomas

    I could write a million sentences about my guest today... but that would be taking procrastinating work to a fireable level. Here are two sentences instead: Addie is great. Listen to the podcast.

    You Can't Drink A Fish w/ Chris Greve

    How to Pull Your Tractor w/ AJ Hines

    From beer to beards, this episode is anything but basic. AJ Hines joins Emma to talk about growing up pulling tractors in rural Minnesota, his blow-drying routine, and so much more. I'd write a more comprehensive description, but I know you're too busy listening to the episode to read this anyway.

  12. 5

    Fishing for Friends w/ Max Ridenour

    From his controversial past (living in Ohio) to serving as the butt of most team jokes, Max is one heck of a character. Today he shares what it was like graduating in a class of 28 students, how to properly hold a fish and, despite our hazing, what this team means to him. This might be our spiciest episode yet! Tune in to see if we get canceled!

  13. 4

    Books, Music and -- Oh My God! Is that Nick Lachey?!? w/ Patricia Leach

    How many times have you technically died? For our guest today, that number is higher than you might expect. Today on the pod, we talk about derby (not Kentucky), mental health and much much more!

  14. 3

    From Catholic School to Kickball Captain w/ Katelyn Osland

    Whether it's learning the rules of kickball or unlearning systems of oppression, we love positive character development! Today we dive into the character arc of the hilarious, fashion-forward, baking prodigy, and co-founder and captain: Katelyn Osland.

  15. 2

    The True Meaning of KNTA w/ Layna Darling

    We're coming out swinging with this one. Today we are diving deep into KNTA lore and peppering in some light childhood trauma along the way. From what it was like growing up in a town with a graduating class the size of the KNTA roster to her favorite petty crimes, our guest is sharing it all. The Kicking Names Taking Ass podcast proudly presents community builder, literal mover and shaker, and team co-founder: Layna Darling. Also forgive the shift in audio quality as we're still figuring out how sharing a mic is going to work... bear with us, we'll get there (or if it really bothers you, you could buy me another mic...). Follow us on IG: @kickingnames.takingass and nowhere else because this is a passion project not a paid gig
