Podcasts about version city rockers

Welcome to Ska Boom Interviews, which is the audio companion to my book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History now available from DiWulf Publishing and Amazon.   The goal of this podcast is talk about ska with an emphasis on American ska history and the bands, musicians and people who have helped to create and influence a uniquely American version of ska and reggae that spans from the late 70s until today.  In this episode, I'm speaking with Noah Shachtman, the editor in chief of Rolling Stone Magazine. Prior to taking over at Rolling Stone, Noah worked as an editor at Wired Magazine and Foreign Policy Magazine before serving as the editor in chief for The Daily Beast. Before he was an award winning journalist, Noah was a bass player and played with a variety of leading American ska and reggae bands including Skinnerbox, Version City Rockers, Stubborn All Stars and Easy Star All Stars as well as helping to co-found the Sub-Atomic Sound System with Lee "Scratch" Perry. One of the first ska specific things Noah did once he was in charge at Rolling Stone was to book The Slackers to perform live at Rolling Stone Studios last December. Ska Boom is hosted/produced by Marc Wasserman and co-produced/engineered by Rob George. This episode of the Ska Boom podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.com.

“We knew it was illegal, and we knew the FCC would probably come after us at some point, and they did.” This episode focuses on two New York pirate radio stations–Steal This Radio and WBAD–both of which were active in the 1990s. We interview Arrow Chrome, one of the founders of Steal This Radio, a pirate station that grew out of a Lower East Side community of squatters and activists. The episode also includes some audio from an event at Interference Archive featuring David Goren, creator of the Brooklyn Pirate Radio Sound Map, and DJ Cintronics, the founder of the unlicensed hip hop station WBAD, which became known for playing music you couldn't hear on mainstream hip hop radio.
