Weekly Update

Gang,

How are y'all doing? You enjoy those stories from Lars as much as we did? WELL GUESS WHAT. This week we have Donita Sparks of L7 on the podcast and she tells us ANOTHER STABBING STORY. Damn. You're supporting the number one stabbing story podcast on the internet. Must feel pretty good.

We finished writing our book and got the manuscript approved. That'll be out later this year. We're going to give sneak peaks of the content on this Patreon page.

We are considering launching a real news vertical called Hard Noise.

We have two more podcasts in the works to add to the network.

We are getting ready to head to Punk Rock Bowling (will we see anyone there?)
