S'MAC TALK: It's Yes Until It's No with Carter Felker

🎧 S’MAC TALK – Episode 21: Yes Until It’s No Powered by Blue Willow Entertainment 💛 Title Sponsor: Happy Ending Divorce and Separation 👕 Segment Sponsor: Rapid Artist Merch This week, Seth and Mackenzie sit down with Alberta singer-songwriter Carter Felker for a conversation that covers everything from saying yes to gigs, writing heartbreak songs, and surviving the chaos of making records, to the fine art of karaoke, funeral shows, and why sometimes the best creative advice is just to keep showing up. Carter shares the origin story behind his music journey, from hearing a friend play original songs around a fire in Valleyview to hauling a guitar to parties, open mics, and eventually building a career on his own terms. He opens up about the very rough process behind his first record, the long break from recording that followed, and how finding the right collaborators finally made later records feel like home instead of a battle. The trio also talk about Carter’s latest chapter as an independent artist, the making of Loser, grant panic, touring highs, writing story songs versus personal songs, and how TV, Reddit, and life can sometimes get in the way of songwriting. Along the way, they detour into David Wilcox karaoke picks, basketball songs, growing up in small-town Alberta, and the beauty of saying yes to the right opportunities. 🎶 Songs of the Week (Rapid Artist Merch): Joshua Beebe – “Dinosaurs” Miles Canyon – “Good on You” Lana Del Rey – “Henry, Come On”

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
