Ryan hangs out with Marie for a proper all-over-the-place chat—in the best way.

They get into songwriting and how different styles come together, then somehow end up talking about the US healthcare system and what it’s like dealing with that as a creative. Classic Punk Rock Creatives podcast detour.

If you’re into the New York scene, Ryan shares some solid tips on where to play as a solo artist and what it’s really like to gig there.

There’s also a fun debate on where punk actually started—UK or USA, London or New York.

They swap stories about on-stage incidents and talk through some iconic punk/alternative venues, and touch on the legendary Chelsea Hotel.

Oh—and Ryan’s dog gets a mention too.
