This is the first show in a sub series of Pablo's Poppin' Podcast where I hope to help art projects in need of immediate funding.  L.M. Langley and Matthew Mahoney discuss their romantic visual novel which features an entirely LGBTQ+ cast and deals with the themes of mental health, loss and identity.  This is a truly inspiring project which you will all be better off for checking out.  The Kickstarter ends August 6th so please check it out and pledge!    After the Kickstarter, you can still check it out to keep updated and Lina gives her contact details on the show.

Aaron Kaplan is a professional composer, producer and guitarist who (among many other awesome things) played with Roger Joseph Manning Jr. for his solo shows in Japan.  We discuss many topics from his beginnings as a musician, to his career which provides a great insight into how to follow your dreams as a musician.  We of course talk about his time in Rogers band and there is a lot of general Jellyfish chat :-)

Legendary "Redd Kross" guitarist and all round musical genius, Robert Hecker is my guest this week on "PPP".  Robert is such a great story teller as we go into everything from his childhood, all the way through "Redd Kross" to his current band, "It's OK!" and his career as a teacher.  I also spin some of his amazing tunes from the most recent "It's OK!" album, "Cubed".

Daniel Ash, lead singer and song writer of Southampton band, The Lost Boys, joins the show this week.  Dan is one of the finest song writers in the land in my opinion and as you can see, Paul Weller is also a big fan!  We talk about the history of his band, his love for David Bowie and how he is making a career for himself as a musician.  An inspiring listen for all striving artists.

It was an honour to have Eric Dover, Joseph Karnes and Roger Joseph Manning Jr. on this weeks episode of Pablo's Poppin' Podcast!  Their band, Imperial Drag released their only album 20 years ago but it has had more than a lasting impression on many fans and musicians since then.  We talk all aspects of Imperial Drag, including some news behind the eventual box set.  The show is also stuffed with some of their legendary tunes!
