    <title>Connor &amp; Kirk&apos;s Corner</title>
    <description>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&apos;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&apos;re wondering what 23 will be like, maybe you&apos;re living it right now, or maybe you&apos;re just hoping to remember but either way Kirk and Connor invite you all to join them!</description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello CKC fans, Connor here! I'll apologize up front, the audio for this episode is pretty chalked. I think I can speak on Kirk's behalf when I say that he takes full ownership for the poor audio quality. I also take full ownership of the portion of this mistake that was my fault, I'd say about 15% from where I'm sitting. Anyways, I hope it doesn't bother you all too much as we had a lot of fun recording this one. Subscribe for new episodes every Wednesday!]]></description>
