And we're back! Feeling refreshed from a week off, Emma and Sam have a refreshed outlook on this weeks episode. Listen in as an Australian, and a Kiwi discuss a British bands overall impressions of the American city of Los Angeles.

Du not miss this episode, we think Du will love it! The topic of this weeks episode is Rammstein's 1997 hit song, "Du Hast," as covered by Motionless In White (Punk Goes 90's Vol. 2). Sam was very excited about this topic, Emma... not so much, you may even say she hasst it.

It's been two weeks since Taylor Swift's Netflix documentary 'Miss Americana' made its Australian debut and produced the heel-face turn of the decade (so far). In this week's marathon episode, Emma and Sam sit down with Friend Of The Pod Richard S. He to discuss cancel culture, trials by Twitter, and how an editorial decision made on his behalf threw our very own Heartbreak Prince into a world of trouble (trouble, trouble).

To a lesser extent, the trio also discuss Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble.', as covered by Michiganian coremen We Came As Romans.

This weeks song, "Little Fighter" - White Lion/Death By Stereo, is yet another new discovery for the Punk Goes Pod duo. Follow Emma and Sam as they discuss the Greenpeace ship that inspired the song, comically killer stereo's, and the best interpretation of a pinch harmonic using only mouth sounds.

You thought that they'd be weak without cheesecake, but they're stronger. Join Sam and Emma as they unpack Destiny's Child's 'Survivor', as covered by elusive Chicago punkers Knockout. (Whipped cream not included.)
