Talk About the Passion

Christian Campagna

Talk About the Passion is a podcast where I will be talking with folks about their passions in creativity. There’s a slight slant towards people from the punk and hardcore scenes, but of course I’m open to anyone. Nominated for Best Music Podcast - Boston Music Awards - 2019.
