At Witt's End
How's it doing?! My name is Carson and I am hosting a podcast alongside my dad Ken called At Witt's End! It's a show where we talk about life, current events, past experiences, and anything else on our minds. Currently, I am pursuing my Masters's in Computer Science, working full time, and coaching American Football in Austria while Ken is located 9(!) timezones away in California, back where I group up! We hope you enjoy your time with us and always welcome comments and feedback from our listeners. Find us on Youtube(At Witt's End) and TikTok(@atwittsend_) for vodcasts, short form, and more!
