We had a great conversation with our friend Michael Dubin. Although Michael is mostly associated with his photography in some circles, in many other  circles we talk about the many other projects and music-oriented stuff he is known-for. We talk about how he started and ran Fadeaway Records in 1999 (with the help of Neil),which released the first Movielife and which was active for 4 years. After a 10 year break, the label was relaunched as a non-profit with the "Friends" Comp. A 3xLP comp featuring 37 unreleased songs with 100% of the proceeds being donated to cancer research (http://www.fadeawayrecords.com/indexFRNDS.html).   Dubin discusses his Radio show on K-Rock (one of the biggest rock radio station in the country) for 6 years 2004 - 2010 which was  recorded in his house.   Micahel also discusses the traveling music photo show featuring the work of 5 photographers from the 90's through the early 2000's called " Sti;; Screaming"  Which featured galleries in Philly, Boston, DC, Venice Beach, Oakland, NYC and Montclair, NJ.    Dubin talks about some of the bands hes managed and (and helped in an unofficial manner)  and also the band he is currently managed now, a band from Brooklyn called Common Sage.    Archive Account instagram.com/longislandhardcorescrapbook   Current Work instagram.com/michaeldubin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please consider Supporting  George's Jewelry Company:  515 Jewelry Studio

Since the day I started this podcast, Paul Bearer was and remained on my list of top 5 people that I had wanted to interview for more than one reason. I'm sure that its clear to almost anyone who has seen him play on any stage anywhere during his over 35 year career in music that he is one of the most unique front-men the hardcore/punk scene has ever had. Its an enduring legacy that persists because Paul is known as much for the great material he's been making for all those years on records as much as his for his classic rants, wit and epic storytelling in between the songs. So, as satisfying and almost familiar as it was to hear Paul speak in a way that reflected the lyrics and stage persona that many of us have come to know and expect over the years, it was intriguing and gratifying to hear him speak in a deep, caring and profound way. He showed a side I had never really seen before and spoke of things I had never heard in previous interviews.

We recently came across a podcast series by Josh Lefkowitz, aka "Whutsiznaim" called WHY YOU'LL NEVER BE A RAPPER.  To call this feat of audio just a "podcast" or an "audiobook" doesn't quite effectively explain what you'll hear in his series.  Josh calls it a "Mixtape Memoir" and it more aptly describes his exciting and one-of-a-kind narration and storytelling.

This was a conversation where Eddie made it clear that nothing was off-limits and he was here to share his story, answer questions, reminisce about the old days and bring us up to speed on all his new projects. Eddie was here to remind us of where this street music known as NYHC originally came from, what it was about and what its meant to him his whole life. With all the ups and downs in his life story, our conversation was more than just a cautionary tale its a story that will leave you feeling inspired. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEEWAY NYC OFFICIAL FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/leewaynycofficial/ Eddie Leeway IG https://www.instagram.com/eddie_leeway/?hl=en Eddies Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78RoKQWf5pU&t=2s https://www.facebook.com/theeddieleewayshow/ Truth and Rights https://truthandrightsofficial.bandcamp.com/album/lies-slights https://www.facebook.com/TRUTHandRIGHTS-141254382552080/ IIRTW SPONSORS NAUTILUS COFFEE https://nautilusroasting.com/ RAISED FIST PROPAGANDA https://raisedfistpropaganda.com/

War On Women is a co-ed, feminist hardcore punk band based out of Baltimore, MD. Their lead vocalist is Shawna Potter and she is of course, so much more than just your average singer. Beyond handling vocals for the band she is also the founder of Hollaback! Baltimore, co-founder of & trainer for Safer Space Program, writer, activist, public speaker, amp repair technician, and ordained clergy. Shawna took the time to have a great conversation about as many topics as we could fit into this episode. Besides being talented and hard-working, Shawna found a way to create a safe space in this conversation to exchange some ideas of topics that we haven't generally discussed on the podcast with previous guests. Shawna was as open and honest about her goals and achievements as she was about the vulnerability and challenges she faces in her current position and endeavors. There was a refreshing honesty and attention to nuance in this conversation that doesn't always happen in today's social media world. We thank Shawna for her openness and the generosity of her time.
