Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best discuss their album Second and its lyrical themes, growing up together and now living right next to each other, a Guelph house show my old band Captain Copilot played with Atom and His Package in 1999 before I randomly ran into Adam in Philadelphia a year later, finally having Adam on the show after conversations I’ve had about Atom and His Package with guests like Chris Gethard, Kurt Vile, and Pissed Jeans’ Matt Korvette, being straight edge in grade one and high school reunions, getting into punk and DIY culture and infusing it all with comedy, why a number of post-hardcore bands in the 1990s seemed to be named after American historical figures except for Franklin, playing shows, other future plans, and much more.

Kathleen Hanna discusses her new memoir Rebel Girl – My Life as a Feminist Punk, why she wrote this book and what that experience was like, what she learned about her own workaholism and setting boundaries, trauma and therapy, how punk orthodoxy led to a painful exile, the actual material conditions of being known as an “activist icon,” prescience and hindsight, how the writing in Rebel Girl relates to the depiction of her in the 2013 documentary, The Punk Singer, forgiveness, friendship, and self-awareness, a shout out to her husband Adam Horovitz for being a generously supportive family man, and much more.
