Next, they're joined by Hannah Keyser to share her experience reporting the Phillies story and talk more broadly about the state of Manfred's good will tour.

This Song Is Yours

Our guests today are Canadian punk legends PUP, who recently returned with their fifth studio album Who Will Look After the Dogs? The Toronto four-piece have spent the past decade building one of the most exciting careers in alternative music—known for their chaotic energy, biting wit, and emotional honesty. This new record sees frontman Stefan Babcock at his most self-aware and vulnerable, with the band pushing their sound into more introspective territory. In today's episode, we chat with Stefan and guitarist Steve Sladkowski about going into the album creatively aligned, working with producer John Congleton, and the balance between emotional weight and over-perfectionism. We also talk about their upcoming Australian tour and what fans can expect.PUP: Instagram / Spotify Find more information about PUP hereVisit our official website here and follow us across our socials.
