The Fortification of a Suburban Punk

Your host, musician and writer Aaron Hartman, shares stories about his stormy youth growing up punk in a conservative beach town with his Millennial sister, actor, writer and comedian Katie Hartman. 
What emerges is a series of hilarious, poignant, and brutally honest weekly episodes that delve into the stark differences in their upbringings, despite being siblings.
Aaron, a founding member and bass player of Northwest indie legends Old Time Relijun and electro dance-rock pioneers IQU, began writing his memoir in the back of a tour van. Years later, he reads these deeply personal stories to Katie, who, as a theater kid, had little knowledge of her much older half-brother’s rebellious life.
Through Aaron’s raw, unfiltered stories and Katie’s humorous, insightful commentary, the podcast explores the generational divide between Gen X and Millennials, showcasing how two siblings from different households can grow up under radically different circumstances within the same family. From cringy interactions with girls to the first stirrings of what life might be like as a musician, the stories include illustrations of teenagers in Southern California learning to make their own rules when divorced parents stop paying attention.
