In this episode of That's So Rad podcast, host Travis Vangsnes interviews his friend Danny Smith. This episode is loaded up! They discuss the impact of working with kids in foster care and the lessons learned from those experiences. The conversation also touches on nostalgia, particularly around a love of station wagons (Travis' "grocery getter"), humor, and having fun.

Danny shares about his journey from growing up in a camp in Kentucky to becoming a musician. He reflects on the influence of his upbringing, the essence of Kentucky culture, and the importance of humor in navigating life's challenges.

Danny shares insights about his band, Wasperjaws, and their unique style of 'in-law country' music. Travis and Danny discuss Wasperjaws recently jamming with Travis' brother Jeremy (who suffered a traumatic brain injury) and plays a six stringed instrument with his foot called the Feetar. There's some clips of them playing together in this episode.

Danny also shares a great story about the impact of a surprising endorsement from Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers. He emphasizes the significance of community, family, and living a worshipful life through daily actions, while also exploring the creative process behind his songwriting.
