  • Thank you

    Lydia,

    I’m truly loving the podcast. I love all of your artistic output from back in the Rollins, Bajema and of course the one and only Mr. Hubert Selby Jr days. Stay well and keep up the great work. Really love the writer episodes. Thank you.

    One of the absolute best shows in the pod-verse and a great way to keep up with the evolution of the magnificent Lydia Lunch. When are you going to interview John Richey?

  • Maybe for the guests ?

    2 stars I suppose for guests like Nandor but mostly can’t recommend. Listening to Lydia pretend like she’s the most radical and transgressive person ever while selling political ideals barely more challenging than a college age over eager female pick me working for the Elizabeth Warren campaign is insufferable
