The Punk-Cast For Pod People

Long form interview podcast with DIY artists and creative types. Bands, artists, writers, film makers are all welcome to sit at our kitchen table and talk. Danny and Carla have been together for over 25 years and enjoy the creative energy of the Hudson Valley. If you're nationally unknown and not relevant to the larger pop culture you're probably someone we'd like to meet.

#23 : 4 Gun Ridge 10/03/2016

Besides, Carla and Danny grew up listening to the country music their fathers listened to so, this is not unfamiliar territory for them. /episode/index/show/thepc4pp/id/4713396

Recently, James aka Lunchbox asked to come back on the podcast to set things right and talk about where his life was at at the time of the original interview and to talk about where he, and the band, are at now. We are very happy to see James doing so well and the band has never sounded better. Going James on this episode is Jimbo (original drummer and possible once again future drummer), Phil (current drummer), and Mike (current bass player).

If you dig deeper you will find songs about a world spinning out of control and a government gone berzerk. At the center of this sonic whirlwind are three experienced and talented musicians working very hard to make it all appear effortless. /episode/index/show/thepc4pp/id/3407392
