United States4 years ago - SKA! SKA! SKA!
Matt and Aaron have created an AWESOME (or dare I say SKA-some) show for all the ska fans out there. It’s great to hear comprehensive discussions centered around this fun and lighthearted genre as well as commentary on ska / punk culture past and present. If you are interested in ska, you won’t find many guys more dialed into the genre than these guys.

I was turned onto this show by a friend of mine and I can’t thank her enough!
Matt and Aaron, then Matt and RJ do a great job of exposing listeners to musicians new and old. Segments like pick of the week and ska around the world bring listeners new music weekly, and the guys do a great job of brining bands on to the show to share and talk about their music.

Apple Podcasts5GrocersprideUnited States6 years ago - Interesting & Fun Perspectives on Ska!
This podCast is so fun and interesting because the two hosts represent opinions and experiences both as a member of a Ska band, as well as a very well-researched fan of Ska Music. You get to hear these topics from both the perspective of a band member as well as the perspective of a fan. It is informative and well planned-out, while also being fun and causal - a nice balance. It’s also great to be introduced to new Ska music from all over the world.
