Interview podcast!  A podcast about the origin story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. We think of origin stories as something that  superheros have, or wealthy people. However, there are people doing amazing things, and leading amazing lives, all around us. In a culture that encourages us to be passive consumers of the products of corporate creativity. there are people all around us committed to doing amazing, creative things with their lives. And those people have origin stories worth hearing. 

In episode one, I interview musician Billy Hough is a founding member of the punk group Garage Dogs, along with his brother’s Paul and Matt. For the past 15 years, Billy has been the driving force behind “Scream Along with Billy.” Over the course of our conversation, we cover his move from small town Mississippi to Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and finally Provincetown, MA, as Billy transforms himself from an awkward, nerdy teenager to front man of a Punk band, and, ultimately, into a humorous and brave interpreter of songs-- his own works and those of others. Please enjoy!
