Not A Professional Podcast

Welcome to the least professional area of the internet- podcasting. Unfortunately, we're not even that good at that. We talk with anyone who's braindead enough to make their way to our podcast chambers about whatever they find interesting. With me (Jaren, the host) and Brad (our cool sound guy and co-host) this will almost certainly be a wild ride.

Sophomore Year Synopsis 06/14/2025

Sophomore Year Synopsis Dane had a great idea. An idea so good, I couldn't say no. What else should we talk about, but the end of the first real year of high school we've had? If you are scared of sophomore year coming up, or wish to relive your glory days, this is the place for you to be.

Mushroom Mayhem 05/17/2025

Mushroom Mayhem What started off as a simple "What is it like to have friends in other schools?" quickly devolved into madness. In this episode, you get the joys of listening to girls screaming, while one of them yaps about mushrooms for a while. It's pretty cool though, I guess.

Movie Maker's Central 05/03/2025

Movie Maker's Central In an impromptu episode with Jayber Jabber and Ollie "Cool-io", we make movies- the best movies you've ever seen.

Truly, it is a wonderful time to be a living film maker.

So You Think You Can Teach? 04/12/2025

So You Think You Can Teach? From Spanish to Physics, we got a bunch of teachers to talk about themselves. Maybe it'll help you learn your love for teaching, maybe it'll just help you be nicer to your poor math teachers. Whatever the case, we appreciate all the lovely teachers who took time outta their schedules to come on and let me spout nonsense at them in a microphone for around an hour.

More Guy Stuff? 04/05/2025

More Guy Stuff? You don't have to be a man to be a guy- you don't even have to be a GUY to be a guy! (Just ask Brad- he's one of my fingers.) Today, Takeo comes on to tell us about fishing, asian cars, judging people, and racism towards white people (it's a lot more rad than it sounds). We do get distracted quite a bit, but hey! That's just guy stuff. Contact us at @nappodcastofficial on Instagram or to give episode ideas or come on a later episode. /episode/index/show/fef764ea-0ea4-449d-b98d-c252287b3696/id/36020645

Workin Hard or Hardly Workin? 02/15/2025

Workin Hard or Hardly Workin? What is it like to work as a teenage boy? That's a good question, and not one that a podcast host would have the answer to. Fortunately, we brought on Will and Blake to teach us what the real world is like, outside of our podcast prison. Subway? Rodizio Grill? Elon Musk? Who knew the workplace world has so many wonders?
