Ep 46 Slurm Flirty Worm
A Minnesota Trans-Atheist
This episode features an interview with a really fun punk band from the Pacific Northwest, Slurm Flirty Worm. Slurm's drummer and back up vocalist (Abbi) is trans, and a listener local to Slurm helped connect Abbi and I. The whole band, Abbi, Michael, & Zakk are awesome, and I had a lot of fun chatting with them about how they got their name, what kind of music they play, and of course which hot pockets are the best hot pockets.

Music:
To close this episode out I asked FLOWTUS if I could play one of the tracks they recorded outside of the studio. As I'm typing this I had just heard them last night, they were amazing, and I didn't want to wait for them to hit the studio before I shared their music. Give it a listen, imagine you're sitting 6 feet from the band with a gorgeous fire burning behind you, surrounded by friends. FLOWTUS will forever have a special place in my heart for being a great soundtrack on such an amazing night.
