- LOUD! FAST! PHILLY! Episode 44: Thomas Adams aka Vosco of RuinThomas “Vosco” Adams/December 16, 2013Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Thomas “Vosco” Adams of the band Ruin. In this interview we go deep into Vosco’s past. From growing up in a volatile and often violent family situation and foster homes, through juvenile deliquency, Vosco was headed down a self-destructive path before he discovered punk rock in the form of (at first) the Sex Pistols and Buddhism. While issues with various substances at times sent Vosco down some dark cul-de-sacs, he also brought his angst and spiritual yearning into the band in the form of highly kinetic live performances. We talk about the early punk scene and later hardcore punk scenes in Philly, the wild world of drugs in the late ’70s and early ’80s, the formation of Ruin, the eventual demise of Ruin, and the surprising and welcome recent resurrection of the band in a the form of two inspired live events. We also talk about remaining vital and open to new music and life experiences (rather than living in the distant past) and using those experiences to put something positive into the world. This is one of the most candid and personal interviews in the series and should not be missed.1 hr 36 min

- LOUD! FAST! PHILLY! Episode 43: Pete Tridish, Kate Wendland Duncan of Radio Mutiny, Prometheus Radio Project, Rebellious Nursing, International Media Action
Pete Tridish, Kate Wendland Duncan/December 9, 2013
Joseph A. Gervasi interviews “Pete Tridish,” a founder of Philly’s Radio Mutiny pirate radio station and the Prometheus Radio Project (which he retired from two years ago after working with them for thirteen years) and Kate Wendland Duncan, who founded Radio Mutiny with Pete and others and is now a part of the Rebellious Nursing group. Pete and Kate talk about founding the (in)famous pirate radio station in West Philly in the late ’90s, their peculiar assortment of DJs, and their problems with the FCC that led to series of very clever (and funny) press stunts. In the wake of the demise of Radio Mutiny in the early 1990s, Pete went on to help form the Prometheus Radio Project, which helped to change laws regarding radio broadcasting in signicant ways and start community radio stations all around the US and, indeed, the world. Kate has recently been involved with Rebellious Nursing, a group of social activist nurses who recently held a successful conference (in part organized by Kate) in Philadelphia. This interview comes highly recommended to social/political activists and community organizers. The word “punk” is not mentioned once.

- LOUD! FAST! PHILLY! Episode 42: Sean Gustilo of Philly Zine, Cabbage Collective
Sean Gustilo/November 17, 2013
Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Sean Gustilo. Sean Gustilo was born in Pennsylvania but grew up the youngest son of Filipino immigrants in the town of Glassboro in South Jersey. His older brother turned him onto punk in the mid-’80s and he was soon attending shows in venues such as Club Pizzaz, Revival, and City Gardens. He met Jesse Townley (later Jesse Luscious and also interviewed in this project) and took over Philly Zine when Jesse headed for parts West. Through Philly Zine, Sean began to explore not only his interest in punk, but also the use of computers for design (which was rather new at the time) and the awakening “homo punk” scene. Sean was one of a small but loud chorus of voices of gay punks speaking out in a scene that at the time barely addressed matters of sexuality in the scene. As Philly Zine wound down, Sean came to work on NO LONGER A FANzine with me and operate the I Love You ‘zine distribution service. As well, Sean was a founding and crucial member of the Cabbage Collective. Among other things, we talk about how Sean came out and the changes in greater American society’s attitudes regarding homosexuals from when he came out to the present. Sean now lives in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco and works in the tech industry. His time of active involvement in the DIY punk scene had a lasting and tremendous impact on his life.
