 Bill Florio

Have you ever wondered what the weirdos behind your favorite records are doing when they’re not losing money in punk rock? Whether they are pushing pencils, tending bar or running corporations, we’re having sincere yet totally stupid conversations on how they’ve managed to make a living and advance their scams into careers (or something like it) among the squares. Join us as we aim to find out how punks pay their bills and what they’ve learned along the way. New episodes every Tuesday.

Theme song by M.O.T.O. Logo by Chuck Loose. Intro by Rev. Norb.
