This week Benny gets to geek out on sports with Yankees Baseball expert, Jack Curry of the YES Network and NY Times. Don' worry, Jack is a HUGE music fan and the discussion is deep and endearing... and often sports-like.

Brit and Tim from the ska-band, Catbite join us this week from Philly to talk about the trials of the van and some truly wacky Covid experiences that they refused to let keep them down. Also dog-bites vs cat-bites... very informative.

So... summer vacation and Benny's busy recording career has caught us without a fresh episode for you this week. So instead, please allow us to point you back thru time to this fun episode that not only features Benny in one of his early hosting appearances, but also the always-delightful, Vanessa Bayer, guest-hosting. Oh yeah, Frank Turner is also in there somewhere. Enjoy.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist/songwriter Joe Gittleman joins us this week to discuss the early days of the band and the old Boston hardcore scene. We also hear a lot of praise for Fishbone, Rancid and Joe Strummer.

Murder by Death frontman, Adam Turla checked in with us from Louisville to relay a real, Irish ghost story. He talks about what it was like playing a live show in a cave during a flash flood and a haunted hotel. Oh yeah, he also wields a dream-hammer.

Against Me! guitarist, James Bowman joined us to talk about moving to New Jersey, being a punk-kid in south Florida and Bowman Audio Endeavors, his awesome guitar-pedal company that's definitely the coolest Covid induced project ever.

Lovable, singer-songwriter Mikey Erg, frontman for The Ergs!, drummer for Worriers, talks about working with legendary producer Steve Albini on his latest album. He also used to do remixes of Bon Jovi in his dad's recording studio when he was eight!

Renown guitar-tech Brad Clifford of Sincebyman and Poison The Well joins us for our 3rd installment of "Road Dogs" with guest-host Jared Hart (Mercy Union) to discuss the do's and don'ts of rocking live and how Brad's mom is the real-life Marge Simpson.

Metalcore vocalist, Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage talked with us shortly after having his first real, wild night out in NYC in a year and a half. He relays the humbling realization that his health impacts many more people than just himself now.

Ska, punk vocalist and record label owner, Mike Park of Skankin' Pickle, The Chinkees, The Bruce Lee Band and Asian Man Records talks with Benny about convincing his traditional parents that music was a worthwhile pursuit and smoking weed with Tupac.
