We made it out of 2020 yall! We couldn't have survived this outrageous year if it weren't for you, our unity community, so thank you for the support. We are pumped to start season 2 of Checkered Cast with a bang by bringing you an interview with the organizers of The Supernova International Ska Festival, Tim & April Receveur (www.supernovaska.com). We talk to them about their background with ska music, how they got the insane idea to DIY an incredible music festival, and the challenges they have faced having to change up their plans due to the Covid curveball of 2020.

We are including some of Tim & Aprils music recommendations on this episode which features songs from; Alpheus, Buddah Council, Emily Capell, Half Past Two, The Loving Paupers, and more.
