Fresh out of that life, Ryan is ready to tackle supporting students during the pandemic! The other side of Ryan’s life is full of punk tunes - primarily PUP and Jeff Rosenstock - the Fest community, and a lovely dog named Rocko.

81: Derek Zanetti (the Homeless Gospel Choir) - Round 2 - This Land is Your Landfill

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

I'm stoked to bring back Derek Zanetti of the Homeless Gospel Choir for our SECOND conversation of this podcast - nearly 2.5 years since our first chat. If you’d like to like to listen to our first conversation from Dec of 2017, click here!

Zanetti writes protest songs that are meant to make people think and find some form of comfort during these troublesome times. The Pittsburgh, PA-based musician has been creating tunes and touring the world for over a decade and his new album is his first since creating a full-band for touring. “This Land is Your Landfill” further exemplifies Zanetti’s witty yet unabashedly earnest songwriting, which is a constant source of community building within his circles. This conversation focuses a lot on the album, as well as meanders into very political spaces, which makes sense given the moment we’re currently living in. Hope you dig it! I had fun and I think you will too.

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Homeless Gospel Choir album, “This Land is Your Landfill,” which comes out next Friday, April 24 through A-F Records.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Don’t Compare,” “Art Punk,” “Punk as Fuck.” You can check out the entire “This Land is Your Landfill” album through all of the streaming platforms NEXT WEEK! You can even download the album on bandcamp!

80: Sara Lieto - Being a Poet & a Woman in STEM

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Sara Lieto is a poet, an app developer, and all-around wonderful human. Selfishly, I wanted to interview Sara because I wanted to learn more about what she does - since we always interact at the gig in Boston but never seem to make the time to sit down and have a proper chat. So I reached out and here we are! Sara has a knack for the written word and does some great work spreading radical feminism wherever she goes. This brand of feminism creates a great foundation for her as she navigates a heavily male-dominated field. We dig into gender roles and expectations, as well as what writers got us into performing and writing poetry, and of course we talk about the gig! Hope you enjoy this one!

78: David Cave & the Search for Meaning through Recovery

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

David Cave is a former skrams vocalist from Denver, Colorado - which is where most of the stories in this conversation take place. Because before moving to Boston and quickly becoming one of my best friends, David lead an entirely different life. From beginning to drink and smoke at a young age, to getting in recovery through meetings and having a sponsor, to eventually finding some peace with the universe, David has lived a lot of life in just 33 years. Now, 13 years sober, David finds himself reading a lot of existentialist works, in Dharmic meditation, and seeking a lot of meaning as he moves into perhaps the biggest next step in his life - fatherhood. We had a lot of fun recording this conversation late one Saturday night after eating a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was totally time well spent. I hope you enjoy this one!

---

Joe Palana is a stand up comedian based in Boston, he is also an autism researcher - and on this episode, we discuss the ways in which Joe connects those two aspects of his life.

74: Josh Cyr (The World is a Beautiful Place...) & Challenging Toxic Masculinity

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST!

It’s time for a new season of the podcast! In this first episode back from the extended break, I sat down with Josh Cyr - who is the bassist from the band, The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die. We chilled out in the band’s tour van right before its sold out gig at the Great Scott in Boston - where Josh also played double duty playing bass for the opening act, Harmony Woods. Josh and I had a quick chat about his history in music, with TWIABP, and his perspectives on toxic and performative masculinity in the music scene. Essentially, our conversation can be boiled down to DON’T BE A DICK - which is fitting because one of the pieces of educational materials that our nonprofit provides goes by the same title. Alas, so thankful for Josh taking a moment out of his busy evening to chat with me.

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new “Assorted Works” release from The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die.

- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “From the Crow’s Nest on Fire Street” and “Katamari Duquette.” You can check out the entire “Assorted Works” release through all of the streaming platforms! Also, snag a vinyl copy of the album as well!

73: Jack Senff & the Act of Re-Inventing Yourself (Again)

Jack Senff is a singer-songwriter based out of Traverse City, Michigan. Jack has already had a wild ride through a number of genres and approaches to storytelling - especially as he’s transitioned from emo to post hardcore/skrams, and then into more contemporary indie jams - but now he’s truly on his own, using his own name, and releasing an incredibly stripped down release. Throughout his career, Jack has maintained his DIY ethics in touring, putting on gigs, and releasing his tunes - while continuing to amass and maintain a followership along the way.

Since Jack and I met a couple years ago, we’ve sort of felt like kindred spirits - hitting it off right away and with a tenacity as if we’d known each other for years. So this conversation is a continuation of us learning more about each other as we discuss Jack’s musical history, masculinity, storytelling, and what it looks like to reinvent yourself and to live various lives through music. We hope you enjoy!

You can watch his video for “Full Decay” below:

Amy Hoffman is the vocalist and guitarist for the Boston-based band, Future Teens! Amy is one of the most wonderful human beings in the scene and their dedication to making the scene safe and inclusive is one of the best examples of creating a community of care. Amy had a wild ride that led her not only to the east coast but also to a career as a professional musician aboard cruise ships and eventually into their role with Future Teens. The band is about to release a brand new album, and Amy is READY to hit the road - a place that feels like home for them.

Also, prepare yourself for one of the most chill and laid back chats I’ve ever had on this podcast! It’s a true joy.

70: Clare Cady - Campus Food Banks & Crossfit

Clare Cady is the founder of the Colleges & Universities Food Bank Alliance (CUFBA) - she’s also an all-around badass. Clare and I go way back to our days at Oregon State University - where we met and became quick friends! In this episode, Clare shares her experiences with homelessness, joblessness, and food insecurity. She explores how the creation of CUFBA has impacted many college communities and the lives of even more students. We even dig deep into our mental illness similarities and what it’s like having a bipolar brain.

Clare and I also get to nerd out about fitness - explicitly about crossfit and weightlifting. We have both found community and support through our crossfit families and it’s great to discuss that together. Hope you enjoy this chat because it was great to catch up with Clare a bit!

Also, a note on my audio for the episode - my usual mic WAS plugged in but my recording equipment chose to record from the computer’s built-in mic instead - so it’s a little scratchy on my end!

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Personal Best album, “What You At,” which was recently released on Sheer Luck Records.
- Out of Portsmouth, United Kingdom, Personal Best is self-described as “classic rock for tragic lesbians,” which is fitting because the band is full of classic rock vibes and solos packaged within a brandishing of new wave emo/rock structures.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Jennifer,” “Love Letter,” and “Baby.” You can check out the album through Personal Best’s Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms! While there, you can snag a vinyl or CD copy of the album as well!

69: Sarah Desmarais (Fucko) - It's Never too Late to Start a Band

---

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Sarah Desmarais is the guitarist and vocalist for the Massachusetts-based band, Fucko. Sarah also works in marketing for America’s Test Kitchen - which is something I learned early in the conversation and it wound up steering the beginning of the episode. Sarah and i discuss what it’s like picking up an instrument (guitar) a little later than folks typically pick it up and start noodling around. Having also delayed my guitar learning til my 20s, I could relate to Sarah a good deal - especially around starting a band a tad later as well.

Hope you enjoy this first episode back in over 6 weeks, but we will be back consistently every other week from here on out! Enjoy!

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Fucko album, “Social Climber,” which was released this month on Midnight Werewolf records.
- Fucko presents a fuzzy/noisy indie pop sound that bridges the gaps between garage rock and pop - it’s a wonderful spin of the genre.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Used to Be” and “In That Doorway.” You can check out the album through Fucko’s Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms!

68: Chris Lee-Rodriguez (Really From & I Kill Giants) & the Pedagogy of Nostalgia

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Chris Lee-Rodriguez is a brilliant musician, educator, and all-around good person. Chris is the guitarist and vocalist for the Boston-based jazzy emo band, Really From, and previously lead the math punk act, I Kill Giants. Chris recently released his first solo project with an EP called, “It Could Happen,” which he self-released on May 3. You will hear a number of these tracks throughout the episode!

Chris teaches young people how to play guitars and a number of other instruments - an experience that he reflects on in detail in this episode. This conversation also covers a lot of arenas of interest to our listeners including how Hurricane Maria impacted him and his family in Puerto Rico, to his disgust for capitalism and Shark Tank (to my chagrin), as well as Chris’ three pieces of being a good person.

This episode was recorded in a practice space - where other bands were practicing, so you may hear random bouts of song in the background here and there.

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the Chris Lee-Rodriguez’s debut release, “It Could Happen,” which he self-released on May 3.
- Chris’s solo sound takes on a number of the styles he’s presented throughout his various projects over the years - including expanding into more of his classical Spanish guitar stylings that compliment the more chaotic moments of the album.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Written by the Golden Gate Bridge,” “Dream Song,” and “Hurricane is a Taino word.” You can check out the album through the Chris’s Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms!

67: Kevin Klein (Valleyheart) & Exploring Spirituality through Music

Kevin Klein is the lead singer and guitarist for the band, Valleyheart. Kevin is a multi-talented musician who has been on a wild musical journey to get to where he is today. Starting out playing in a Christian metalcore band, Exiting the Fall, Kevin eventually veered into more chill outlets as his interests in music evolved. Eventually those efforts would become the Salem, MA-based band, Valleyheart.

During this conversation, Kevin and I dig into his spiritual roots and how they have influenced, defined, and evolved during his life and musical ventures. The conversation also features a bit about the realities of booking DIY tours - playing not only in basements, but in restaurants and boxing rings as well. There’s also a great meditation or two on the influence Sufjan Stevens has had on both my life and Kevin’s life.

This is a fun and thoughtful conversation that I know you will love. AND you get to hear some beautiful music throughout. Valleyheart will be on tour with My Epic this month and into June. The band will embark on a summer run of dates with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - you can check out their tour dates here!

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the debut Valleyheart album, “Everyone I’ve Ever Loved,” which was released on December 14 through Rise Records.
- Valleyheart is a brilliant rock band the presents each song with expertly layered lush atmospheres and soundscapes while retaining a perfect amount of raw emotion. Fans of From Indian Lakes, Manchester Orchestra, and Copeland will love these guys.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Agnosia,” “Friends in the Foyer,” and “Fourth of July,” which is a cover of the brilliant Sufjan Stevens song. You can check out the album through the band’s Bandcamp page, and through all of the streaming platforms!

65: Katy Weaver & Creating a DIY Photography Career

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Katy Weaver is a professional photographer who created a career for herself out of sheer drive and passion for photography. Katy is also one of Craig’s eldest friends from college at Oregon State - the two met at the college newspaper and wound up working together off and on for many years. So they’re pretty familiar and use this episode to catch up a bit while exploring how Katy went from taking photos of Craig’s metal band in college to taking them of hundreds of people and couples from literally all over the world.

Katy is a prolific wedding photographer and provides a great deal of backstory and advice for doing great wedding photography, as well as what it looks like for her to give up the lens as she is currently planning her own wedding. The conversation also veers into some emotional spaces as Katy recently lost one of her best friends - but the memories, much like the photos, are what keep her going even through tragedy. This is one of the most heartfelt and loving conversations featured on this podcast and we hope that truly comes through.

And if you want to check out more from Katy and to see her work, go to KatyWeaver.com or find her on Instagram!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the ridiculous new Holy Fawn LP, “Death Spells,” which was released last year through Holy Roar Records and Deathwish Inc in the states. The album was officially re-issued by Triple Crown Records last week so you can expect a lot more greatness from the band!
- Holy Fawn plays loud heavy pretty noises - their words - and it all creates atmospheres that envelope the listener into a world of unknown possibilities. The band allows its songs room to breathe and expand into massive soundscape that began as a mere murmur.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Arrows,” and “Drag Me Into the Woods,” which you can access digitally through the band’s bandcamp page or on Spotify and Apple Music. There is bound to be a new vinyl pressing, but you may need to be a little patient.

63: Bill Huff & Prepping for ACPA 2019!

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

This week Craig chats with Bill Huff - who is the Associate Director of Summer housing at Georgetown in DC - about his role as the conference chair for this year’s national ACPA 2019 conference, which takes place in Boston! Bill and Craig discuss Bill’s transition from growing up the midwest to living on the east coast as a professional, and branch into the always hectic work of summer housing and conference support - which is a wild never-ending revolving door of excitement. From there, we explore all of the ins and outs of planning a massive higher education conference, as well as the social justice-informed initiatives that influence all of the work that is done in community at ACPA. Craig will be a caucus leader at the conference this year and we discuss what that looks like as well! We hope you dig this conversation!

---

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the fantastic new Point North EP, “Retrograde.” The band plays a very refreshing take pop punk that teeters into a lot of mainstream appeal - even reminding us of what might happen if Post Malone had a pop punk band.
- We played the songs, “Never Going Home” and “Gasoline” on the episode this week - both tracks are standouts on the EP, which is a solid five-song release.
- The EP was released by We Are Triumphant last week, and if you like what you heard, check out the album on Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes!
