My Hill To Die On

By: Nate Rudd and Ryan Smith
  • Summary

  • Everyone has things they are passionate about; things we want our friends to try and experience. So we’ve convinced each other to try different things. We talk about these experiences to see if we can just get one more person to join us on our hill to die on.

  • 84: We'll Make a New Home and Be Perfectly Fine Without You
    Apr 21 2025

    Recorded September 1, 2024

    This week, Nate went to yet another amusement park- one not so dilapidated this time. Then, Ryan talks about a game that seems to have been designed for the venn diagram that is his entire personality. Afterwards, they have a KitKat cereal and a (better than usual) Calpis, only to discuss data backups. Then, they focus their discussion on the social implications of cloning, what makes up a soul, and one woman’s solution for dealing with people she just doesn’t like in their discussion of the book, Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty.

              • 83: Everyone Had Bought Into His Leadership
                Mar 31 2025

                Recorded June 28, 2024

                This week, Nate brings the perfect trifecta of “Nate topics” to discuss: He bought (yet another) Synology, expresses his concerns over Cross country event planning, and also talks about a new, old amusement park he visited. Then Ryan endures another Calpis (mango this time), before they discuss books that were influential for the young Nate and Ryan. They then wrap up the episode by discussing detail-oriented writing, being a decent person, and Ryan’s insidious plot to make his student read good books in their discussion of The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.

              • 82: Best Teammate Nate's Ever Had
                Jan 14 2025

                Recorded April 7, 2024

                On this episode, Nate and Ryan have invited their friends Keith, Nash, Scott, and Shi to once again abuse the English language (and Ryan’s self-esteem) in a game of words and definitions that is definitely legally distinct from any other definition based game.
