After 2 years, over 20 conversations, and 10 episodes recorded, one rad-ass graphic and one riot jingle created - season one is done. And before we move forward to season two, we look back on the 9 episodes behind us.

Olivia and Matt dig into their biggest takeaways from a season spent contemplating punk as a lens for human growth. Matt pulls from the I-You-Thou framework and what punk taught him about real dialogue and brotherhood. Olivia gets into a new appreciation for history, the destruction-construction cycle, and why adversity and the unsavory corners of punk culture turn out to be some of the most fertile ground for empowerment.

We also get into dichotomies, authenticity, and what it means to authentically live rather than claim or conform.

Then we look ahead. Stay tuned for season two which brings interviews with punks, deeper dives into bands and genres we haven't touched yet, and your questions about living an authentic punk life.

One season in. A lot learned. More coming.

Rock on!
