Too Old To Punk?

Music EN ↓ 2 episodes

This podcast series explores punk not through famous bands or scene “stars,” but through the everyday lives of the people who sustain it. Through in-depth conversations with musicians, organisers, and long-time participants, it traces how people first encounter punk, how they become part of it, and how they continue to remake it over time. Focusing on ordinary experiences—forming bands, putting on shows, working, dealing with loss, addiction, and responsibility—the series shows how punk persists as a network of relationships, values, and practices that shape how people live and connect.
