This podcast is an outgrowth of the instagram I started during the pandemic, sharing photos of the many people I'd lived with in my 20 years in a punkhouse. I invited everyone to share their photos, one tag led to another, and before I knew it there were 6,000 followers and a huge backlog of photos to share. This podcast is a series of conversations with people in, and adjacent to, the punk scene in the Bay Area in the 80s and 90s. We explore the stories behind those photos, and dive deeper into who we were, how we found each other, and what it means in our current lives.Photo by Forest Love more
