Damian Abraham has been many things... the singer of a critically acclaimed band, a failed VJ and food network host, one of the minds behind TV's "The Wrestlers", parent of 3... and undeniably, a punk music obsessive. Each week, he sits down and chats with an interesting person from various walks of life to find out how their world was influenced and changed by the discovery of a novelty genre that supposedly died out in 1978... PUNK!

The Turned Out A Punk podcast is a must-listen for fans of punk music and professional wrestling. Hosted by Damian Abraham, this podcast delves deep into the connections between these two art forms, featuring interviews with a diverse range of guests including pro wrestlers, punk rockers, and individuals who have surprising interests in the genre. The podcast offers a unique crossover perspective that sheds light on the shared history and influences between punk and wrestling.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Damian's interview style. He gets straight to the point without wasting time on small talk, allowing listeners to dive right into the heart of the conversation. His passion for both punk music and wrestling shines through in his thoughtful questions and genuine interest in his guests' stories. The guests themselves are also worth mentioning, as they include legendary figures from both worlds such as Geoff Rickly, Amy Dumas, Bob Mould, and more. Their insights provide invaluable perspectives on punk music and its impact on their lives.
Another standout aspect of The Turned Out A Punk podcast is its focus on diversity within the punk genre. Damian ensures that the podcast goes beyond just featuring band people but also includes anyone who has an interest in punk. This inclusivity allows for a broader exploration of punk culture and brings attention to lesser-known bands and scenes that listeners may not be familiar with.
However, one drawback of this podcast is that Damian tends to overuse certain phrases or words in his episodes. One reviewer mentioned that he used the word "punishment" excessively throughout each episode, which can become repetitive and distracting for some listeners.
In conclusion, The Turned Out A Punk podcast is a high-energy yet thoughtful exploration of all things punk. Damian's enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge make him an excellent host who asks compelling questions that delve deeper into his guests' experiences. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the genre, this podcast offers a wealth of stories, insights, and recommendations that will leave you excited about punk music and its connections to other art forms.
