Welcome to The Ska Podcast, a super rad show that celebrates the wonderful world of Ska music. Each week I find an interesting thread related to ska, pick it up, and see where it leads. From two tone to third wave, trumpets to synthesizers, and everything else that lies somewhere in the between this is a fun journey through time and space, or at least that's the impression that I hope you get. Whether you're at a backyard pool party or here in your bedroom, grab some mozzarella sticks and turn up the sound system.

How The Aquabats Changed My Life with One Show
This week I want to take a trip back in time to October 25, 2002 when I went to an Aquabats concerted that literally altered the course of my life and set me on the path to be where I’m at today. It was an incredible experience that solidified The Aquabats and ska as not just something I enjoy, but a core part of my DNA. That sounds scientific. The reason for sharing this story is to explore the insanely profound impact that music can have on someone. If you’ve had a similar experience o...

How Ska Changed My Life - The Ska Podcast Premiere!
