Today’s @dvgpodcast hero is Patty Schemel! @pattyschemel was Death Valley girls original drummer and is Larry's sister! Patty is a hero for so many reasons, she made a book, a movie, was the drummer of one of the most iconic bands of all time, is an amazingly funny person, is a ridiculously good and strong drummer, and is also a mom to Bea!!

Here we discuss what it was like to grow up as an outsider and gay in small town America in the 70s, and how seeing Bowie on Saturday Night Live in a dress changed her life, and probably many others as well.

Also what it was actually like to have been in Hole , a band that brought Patty her dream of playing drums in a rock band and took her all around the world! We also talk about the new art she’s making and new music she is playing.

Please go check out her page on instagram @pattyschemel to keep up with her amazing adventure!

Weekly World News is coming back!!! Excited for this week’s hero Greg D'Alessandro, CEO and Editor-In-Chief of the Weekly World News!! What strikes me most about this paper I grew up ogling at the market when I was a kid, is how important I think it is for society!! I didn’t know when I was 10 if “Bat Boy” was real, or if Elvis was really still alive… What was so exciting to me, is that I lived in a world of endless possibilities. A world where people were being creative, seeking different truths, and perpetuating myths. I still think that’s so cool, and so important!
