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.

Guest Steve Karp helps us get to the bottom of BIM (Business Information Modeling), and what exactly he does in the construction process. In addition to BIM, we talk about art and illustration, the laws and legality of tattooing in CT and NYC, interning at Marvel Comics and a whole lot more. Steve’s hilarious takes on the hardcore scene, his time in Yuppicide and making ends meet as a ‘professional’ without resorting to violence are priceless. Check it out!

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!

n addition to being integral parts of the early Los Angeles punk rock scene, Alice and Greg also had successful careers - Alice as a school teacher and writer and Greg as a hospitality executive and photographer. But our area of focus in this episode is what happened when they decided to retire, and realized they didn’t have the money to do it in California. Not only did they decide to move to Mexico City, they also made the decision to document the process for all to see. We talk about the challenges, exciting developments, lifehacks learned from punk rock and how they’ve used social media to share it all.
