  • A must listen for all punk rock papas

    I love this show. So much insight and great stories with lots of important musicians and alternative media figures. It’s inspiring, insightful and of course, entertaining. The cohosts really have good chemistry and they ask the hard as well as the enlightening questions. As an aging punk rocker, podcaster and yes, father I find these shows illuminating and over way too soon.
