This week we are joined by Common Sense Kid. Craig (Common Sense Kid) tells us how he got into ska and how he started making music. We learn the story behind his name and what the UK ska scene is like. We listen to his cover of a Bloodhound Gang song and we discuss being on ska twitter. Lastly, we give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
