  • The Ska Podcast You Need

    I have been listening for the past two months and have to say that this is the Ska Podcast I have been needing in my life. If you like or even listened to Ska this is a great way to go back in time and remember all the music that you might have or might have not listened to.

  • Ska is dead, you fools!

    Just kidding, Ska is life! I really enjoy the banter of this show, your sense of humour is infectious! I love to see independent podcasts doing their thing, if I could afford it, I would give you all my money, but unfortunately for you, I’ve skanked it all away!

    In all seriousness, I enjoy the show! I would love to hear an episode showcasing Canadian bands, maybe have one about a good Ska/Punk comp from Canada. ?
