Comedian Brandie Posey has been waving the Ska flag for her whole career and sat down with me to talk about growing up on the east coast and experiencing ska for the first time and being able to travel to see bands over and over again. We discussed how the energy of a ska show lead to her starting a career and comedy and how her humor is still shaped around Ska.

We play a little Ska or Nah and debate some strange concepts and whether they are worthy of being included in the world of Ska or dumped to the curb with butt rock, bro metal, rap rock.

Check out Brandie's podcast, ⁠"Lady to Lady" ⁠

Her standup special, ⁠"Opinion Cave"⁠

Her live show, ⁠"Picture This"⁠
