The Ska Podcast
Welcome to The Ska Podcast, a super rad show that celebrates the wonderful world of Ska music. Each week I find an interesting thread related to ska, pick it up, and see where it leads. From two tone to third wave, trumpets to synthesizers, and everything else that lies somewhere in the between this is a fun journey through time and space, or at least that's the impression that I hope you get. Whether you're at a backyard pool party or here in your bedroom, grab some mozzarella sticks and turn up the sound system.
