This week’s guest dreamed of having a bar where his favorite bands could play, and he made it happen beyond anyone’s expectations. Saint Vitus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is not only a popular neighborhood bar, it hosts bands that no other club their size would ever manage to land. In our interview, we talk about Arty's teen years as a metalhead on Long Island, seeing the world in iconic hardcore bands like Mind Over Matter, and what led him to become the proprietor of multiple venues in NYC. We’re ending this series on a high note, so enjoy this episode, and maybe we’ll see you again in the future. Thanks to all of our listeners for a great run.

This week’s guest drew from his own personal experiences to develop a new way of looking at mental wellbeing and the healing process. In this in-depth and insightful conversation, Sascha leads us through his childhood discovery of punk rock and his first experiences with the mental health system to the creation of the Icarus Project and his current work as a social worker and mental health coach and trainer. We also dive into the role that punk rock played in it all, and the lifeline it provided him. All in all, this episode is a masterclass from a true trailblazer.

You may know this week’s guest from his band, Hell No, but even if you aren’t a hardcore punk rock fan, you may know him from his legendary video store Reel Life Video, which existed on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg well before the boutiques and luxury apartments. John later went on to co-found Nitehawk Cinema, where he still works as director of programming and acquisitions. In our conversation we dork out about music, movies and dive into the intricacies of making his dream of a movie theater that serves high-quality food and drinks a reality. It’s more complicated than you think, but John’s approach and attitude helped make for one of the coolest theaters in the world. Check it out!

This week we’re excited to share the professional story of one of punk rock’s most famous working stiffs, Milo Aukerman! From the moment he went to college to his subsequent career and the reformation of Descendents in the 90s, punks around the world have known that Milo left music to pursue a career as a scientist, but not much else. In this episode, we dive into his career as a molecular biologist, his areas of specialty, what drew him to science and his recent retirement to focus on music. Lots of laughs as we discuss finally becoming a ‘professional’ musician in your fifties, studying dirt vs. corn, and why science themes didn’t figure more prominently in Descendents songs. So break out the bonus cup and enjoy!

In the pantheon of badassery in punk rock, no one has a lead on Deniz Tek. In addition to helping to bring Detroit-style rock ‘n roll to Australia and then to the world with Radio Birdman and playing with some of those Detroit legends in New Race, Deniz became an emergency room surgeon, then a navy pilot and flight surgeon and finally a Kona coffee farmer in Hawaii. We talk about it all, from his early years working at an auto plant in Michigan to his current music with James Williamson of the Stooges, an upcoming reissue of the New Race LP and how he’s still learning new things and taking on new challenges.

Russell doesn’t want to talk about his job. He doesn’t think he’s that good at it, and would rather talk about the literally zillions of bands he’s been in, records he loves and breakfast cereal. And we let him for a little bit, but we try to get to the bottom of what exactly he does as a mechanic, how it’s gotten more difficult as cars become more computer-based, what the work situation is like at the garage and more. Along the way we uncover some great stories about acquiring and keeping the Pontiac Bonneville ambulance used by the Mummies in running order, drag racing as a kid and why he isn’t as good at slot-car racing as you’d expect from a member of the Phantom Surfers. Do we figure out his job? Maybe not. Do we have fun trying? Absolutely.

Lulu has loved being behind a camera since her teenage years, snapping photos of rock ‘n roll bands and selling them, as well as spending time at the horse track taking pictures of races. Her love of horses briefly had her considering a career as a jockey, but a chance gig helping her filmmaker sister Maria led to a career as a director of photography. In our in-depth conversation we talk about the technical side of cameras and filmmaking, her inspiration and varied projects, how her day job worked as the Fastbacks took off in the early 90s and what she’s working on now with the band and in her career. All throughout, Lulu is funny, knowledgeable and honest about the challenges in both her music and film careers.

Title: 65 Dave “The Spazz” Abramson - Broadcast Engineer ( Sea Monkeys / The Yams / The Shemps) Description: You may know Dave from his time fronting the NYC punk legends Sea Monkeys, or from his long-running WFMU radio show “Music to Spazz By”, but few people know about Dave’s career as a broadcast engineer for a variety of radio stations. We find out what a broadcast engineer does (including how to get the ‘NPR voice’), polling strangers on the telephone, speaking with Jerry Lewis about long-dead actors, dressing up as a duck for early jobs and how his career’s turning point came from breaking his car key in the ignition. Lots of esoteric music, film, television and pop-culture references in this one, so grab your grandpa for reference sake and dig in!

Cristy is an acclaimed artist, writer and musician whose art and creativity developed through punk rock, but encompasses her cultural, gender and political identities to create work that is intensely personal but also incredibly relatable. From her bands to her wildly-popular tarot card deck and beyond, we discuss creativity, growing up different and finding punk rock, the pull of ‘conventional’ family life and love and much more. We also sing a lot of songs about candy and talk about monsters on toilets, so you’re sure to have fun with this one while learning a lot about Cristy, her work and how she balances the two.

Let’s face it - if you grew up in the punk scene you probably fall into one of two camps - you spend a lot of time at the dentist as an adult or you’ve never been and your mouth tells the tale. In our fascinating conversation with Dr. Laura Railand, we discuss how your teeth and gums can be the source and indicator of larger health issues, as well as some fun stories about her career path that led her around the country and across industries. This episode is way more fun than your average trip to the dentist, we promise you that.

Jeff Coleman is a man that has a moonlighting gig from his moonlighting gig. During the day he works as a first responder for an office technology company, and at night he has played in a series of Connecticut punk rock bands, founded and managed a record label that brought attention to the Puerto Rican hardcore scene and more recently created a series of viral videos with his collection of Evel Knievel stunt cycles. A friend of the podcast for many years, we talk about the daily work grind, living (and driving) with epilepsy, Ian MacKaye in a towel and how you can tell if someone is fucking with the office copier.

We’ve had a lot of talented people on the podcast so far, but Rich Derespina is our first master craftsman, and he makes high-quality, learned the practice of knife fighting, which led to him discovering that the kinds of knives he wanted weren’t being produced. In this wide-ranging and really fun conversation, we talk about the difference between Rich’s knives and one you’d buy at a Renaissance Faire, art and illustration, being too picky about which bands to join and a whole lot more.

Boo Boo Danger is a bit of an overachiever. Whether talking about his early years in the Boston punk scene and his jobs as a barista and messenger or his current position working for a major tech firm as both a designer and a program coordinator (and developer) for the firm’s diversity, equity, inclusion and responsibility initiatives, he is always striving to do as much as he can to accomplish as much as possible. As impressive as his drive and as serious as the work that he is doing in his company and industry, our conversation is also a lot of fun, with scene talk, childhood stories and his humorous approach to his many jobs leading up to his current position. An engaging listen, and we learned a lot from Boo Boo about the challenges facing so many in the workplace and beyond, and how the punk scene is sometimes more words than action. We left the conversation inspired by his initiative and dedication, and encourage you all to listen in to hear a perspective we have not featured enough on this podcast.
