All Episodes - Catchin' a Beat

Catchin’ a Beat Podcast (Formerly The Spokane Word) is a talk show where I, Keith LaBorde, try and dive into my own thoughts, feelings, and emotions, with the intent of taking a rational, logical approach to why and how I have come to my conclusions. I try to navigate the human condition by getting a better understanding of how my own mind works through the art of conversation with myself and others. This podcast is about anything and everything. It’s an attempt to explain myself. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/catchinabeat/support

41 - Rusty Restarting with Mace

05/30/2022 122 min 17 sec

In this clunky episode, after a 8 month break, I get together with Mace and go on a conversational meander getting into the mucky underbelly of the human condition and beyond. We let the conversation and our thoughts take us where they please. I'm getting rusty though. Mace will be starting a Podcast called "The Stoned Ape Social Hour" which I will certainly be listening too. And also thoughts of doing a Podcast with Brittiny where they will talk more specifically

11/08/2020 172 min 1 sec

A seamster, philosopher, psychonaut, Mace is a human that can poke at the nature of anything and incite deep thinking. We discuss everything with hubris and deliberation and it made for such a substantive conversation. I hope to have more of these in the future and could certainly see Mace becoming a pretty regular guest. He is also the creator of Flowstate clothing.

With these shorts, I just meditate on a topic, word, issue, or anything really, and try to articulate what I think about it, hopefully with some poetic prose, or some ironic comedy. I try to defend my whiskey drinking and cigar smoking here.

I'm doing this show off the cuff. No script today, I thought I would give it a shot. As you could guess, the topics meander quite a bit, but whatever, it's poignant none the less.  Show email: keith@catchinabeat.com Youtube:  https://anchor.fm/catchinabeat

In this episode I try to turn a stream of consiousness from ideas throughout the week into some sort of coherent, insightful monologue. But, it's probably just word salad.

01/30/2020 9 min 18 sec

New podcast called The Spokane Word. A talk show about everything and nothing. Hopefully we will make you laugh and answer your deepest curiosities about life and the trivial things that happen. It isn't specifically about Spokane, but it is a way for me to get to know my new city better, and meet the folk of this hamlet. It will come out Sundays and will be available on all platforms, including YouTube. I'm hoping for a good audience in Spokane and all around the world. Get to know me and my guests a little better and check out my growth as a human animal as this podcast matures. For me this is a tool to help me get to know other people better as well as getting to know myself better. It is a journey of development from someone who loves to learn. Subscribe yo! Or don't.
