Philadelphia’s punk rock legacy, much like Rocky Balboa, is one embodying a fight to the finish and unsung achievements. Such is the story of author, educator, and lifelong rabble-rouser Nancy Barile, whose autobiography, "I’m Not Holding Your Coat: My Bruises-and-All Memoir of Punk Rock Rebellion," revisits her beloved Philly and a revolutionary period in music culture. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis stage-dives into conversation with Barile for a return to the author’s old stomping grounds and the punk rock lifestyle that made her who she is today as a high school English teacher and hardcore punk historian.

"Pop, the Question" is a production of Marketing & Media in Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University.

Recorded October 5, 2021 through virtual conferencing (Philadelphia, PA, USA).
