Episode Description
Watershed Voice Staff Writer Maxwell Knauer joins Keep Your Voice Down hosts Doug Sears Jr. and Alek Haak-Frost for what might just be the most chaotic conversation in KYVD history.
Alek goes "full Larry David" over his counterparts' use of their full first names in some settings (professionally, on social media, etc.), while almost no one refers to them by those names in the course of every day life. Maxwell describes how majoring in philosophy and political science in college led to a career in journalism, and why he believes community engagement and storytelling are so important.
The trio also discuss the merits of audiobooks vs. traditional reading, whether Maxwell could beat a professional basketball player one-on-one, and if investing $200K in pickleball courts is really sound city planning.
The show’s theme is “Howling at the Moon” by D Fine Us, and this week’s outro music is “Break It Down” by Ikoliks. You can support Keep Your Voice Down and Watershed Voice with a donation here.
