In an unusual twist, Christopher reveals he technically has known Dave for longer than Dave has known him.

In honor of our friend, who left us too soon. The original version of this episode, with links and photos, can be found HERE.

It’s not often these boys are all in the same place, so when you get the call they want to do a full-band version of the podcast, you’ve got to roll with it despite the limitations of your recording equipment.

Bob Swift is not a morning drive-time radio host and neither is Dave Larson, but don’t tell them that.

Three previous episode all-stars (Eric Kinder, Sotirios Rebelos, and Mark Holcomb) return for a star-studded descent into podcast madness. Dipcone? Samsquatch? Skittledick?

Not everyone with the last name Murphy can be a Murph, but many who know Ryan from the scene may have never known him by any other name. If you ever had cause to doubt that Murph is a genuine Murph, this podcast episode should set you straight once and for all. He and Dave […]

Dave tried unsuccessfully to get Mark on the show for months. When it finally happened they pretty much just talked about He-Man toys and boomerangs.

Kyle and Dave worked together in the 90’s at a Kinko’s so renowned that it is still celebrated by ex-employees to this day, despite the physical location being long gone. Kyle told Dave he was in a local hardcore band, which threw Dave for a loop since he had never heard of his band and […]

John and Dave share a love of many things, from Straight Edge to skateboarding to The Cure, to apparently Miss Michaelanne, who makes one of her unplanned drop-ins on the recording to hang out next to John. Those two have also known each other too long, it turns out. “Did you ever hang out at […]

Carrie appeared out of nowhere in the NW Hardcore scene in mid-1994. That was Dave’s perspective anyway, but of course that doesn’t explain how a girl with a nice smile he passed on the street one day became a fully immersed part of his subculture almost immediately and a key player in his life at […]

Ben was quite young when he first accosted Dave at a show about a missing lyric sheet in an Excursion record. At the time he was the kid brother of the Botch singer, and though he always will be, he quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with on his own. Dave tricks […]

Dave lucks out and gets Ranae from FINDING BIGFOOT to sit down with him for a long chat despite the fact that it violates the arbitrary rules of the podcast.

“Posi” Chris Williams has been a fixture in the NW Hardcore community for the better part of two decades.

For our debut half-step episode, Dave’s first guest Greg Bennick returns to catch us up on his activities as a touring band vocalist, spoken word activist, and potential stand up comedy powerhouse.

Derek and Dave didn’t start out as friends right away, as an offhand comment from Dave regarding one of Derek’s early bands was played up into a serious affront by mutual friend and chaos instigator Matt Matsuoka. That was eventually smoothed over and Dave was able to conquer Derek’s famous resting mean face thanks in […]

Dave and Carl both do music-based interview podcasts, so they split up the hosting duties on this one to interview each other. Dave gets a chance to revel in his redneck upbringing as Carl’s story reveals similarities in their pasts including county living, dangerous rural activities, and endless days spent on crappy BMX bikes. Follow […]

Dave and Demian lose track of time and structure almost immediately, which causes Dave to forget to ask Demian how he got the nickname “The Spice” back in the day.

After many years away from the States, Lex returns triumphant and shares with Dave tales of international drama and intrigue. Somewhere in there they also find time to go over their meeting in the early days of the Old Firehouse Teen Center, how long one must go to shows before they are allowed to “X […]

Dave has always had a lot of respect for Soto, going all the way back to the days when he was one of the only other long-hairs in the local scene. Together they sort through the confused timelines and early passions of a young, Greek metalhead, including a dizzying amount of moving and changing schools, […]

Dave and Michaelanne welcome Aram in for a very long conversation with topics ranging from Straight Edge to Straight Edge. Don’t worry if that doesn’t interest you, because there’s plenty in between.

MINUS THE BEAR’s Jake Snider sits down with Dave to try to dredge up fuzzy memories from the swirling depths of time.

It can be argued that Ron is the guy who did most of the heavy lifting in the creation of the Pacific NW Hardcore scene.

Mahdis played the lead female role in Dave’s 1990’s Punk vs. Straight Edge gang film THE EDGE OF QUARREL.

Now finally back […]

For our second episode, Rocky Votolato sits down with Dave to discuss how and when they might have met for the first time.
