    Connor & Kirk's Corner

    Kirk Butler and Connor Norton are two UC Santa Barbara grads navigating their early twenties, looking for answers to existential questions like: what will they begin dedicating their 10,000 hours to? Do you think this is funny? And, if you go to college and don't start a podcast out of your bedroom, did you even go? Connor and Kirk will speak to each other, and guests, about whatever piques their interest at the time be it a current event, an interaction at UCSB, a book, an album, a memory, a question about life or just any experience they feel like sharing. Together they will navigate the unknown, a journey that their audience can laugh at, disagree with, but above all relate to. Maybe you're wondering what 23 will be like, maybe you're living it right now, or maybe you're just hoping to remember but either way Kirk and Connor invite you all to join them!
