Tuesday Announcements: Julian Carr Vault Episode, Kilby Block Party, Warm December, Upcoming Season 2

The shortest updates can point to the biggest stories. This week we spotlight a Vault favorite with Julian Carr—his journey from professional skier to repeat entrepreneur to new dad—and unpack why that arc lands for skiers, founders, and anyone rethinking the next chapter. It’s a grounded look at risk, reinvention, and the skills that transfer when life changes lanes.

We’re also turning up the community dial with a Kilby Block Party giveaway. The lineup is loaded—Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, Modest Mouse, and more—and entering is easy on Instagram: comment on the episode post, say “done,” and tag who you’re going with. It’s a fun way to bring new listeners into the mix and maybe plan your weekend with friends. Alongside that, we’re dropping another curated Vault release to keep your feed stocked with conversations that age well and give newer listeners a clean on-ramp to the archive.

With the holidays a week out, we share quick ways to shop local and find holly jolly plans pulled from our social posts—simple outings, small shops, and seasonal events that keep our scene vibrant. And because season two is just ahead, we want your help shaping it. Tell us who you want to hear from next and why their story matters now. Hit play, enter the giveaway, and then drop your guest picks—we’ll see what we can make happen. If you’re enjoying the show, follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find Small Lake City.
