If you’re a punk music fan and end up on a deserted island with an internet connection of such questionable quality that you can only listen to one podcast, I would certainly suggest this one.
The interviews are insightful and I enjoy hearing from well known bands I enjoy and new ones which quickly become favourites.
Great work guys.
Love listening to this podcast and hearing from artists and songs I grew up loving.
I just got finished listening to two episodes (TGUK and Rich Egan/Vagrant). They were excellent! It was amazing to hear the stories behind some of my favorite songs from TGUK and how Vagrant became a powerhouse in the punk scene. Great job! 5/5 stars!
I in fact group up punk as well.
Super rad pod.
