Show Notes

A few years back, I was on an episode of 'Unscripted Moments: A Podcast About Propagandhi', talking about the ‘90s Winnipeg ska scene alongside members of Whole Lotta Milka. Also on that episode (in a separate interview) was Aaron Carnes, author (and podcast host) of 'In Defense of Ska'.

Aaron has a new expanded edition of his book coming out soon, so — even though he’s not local — we sat down and nerded out about the book, Canadian ska and its near-total anonymity in the U.S., revamping ska’s image, mozzarella sticks, and more!

Check out our conversation, and thank you for occasionally indulging me when I make episodes that have little to no connection to Manitoba music. Back to actual local shit next episode, I promise.

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company.

As always, if you like the podcast, please tell a friend or 20! Rate and review on your podcast player of choice! Word of mouth is still the main way Witchpolice Radio reaches new ears. Thanks for listening!
