EduPunx Podcast

Julien Baker and I got off on a tangent about self-care, running, and how we view running as a form of self-care, so I wanted to share this bit of our conversation as a special episode outside of the chat that was posted earlier in the week! On this extra episode, I play a throwback track from Julien's first album, "Sprained Ankle," it's the title track and was one of the first to get me into her tunes! It's also apropos because of the lyric, "Marathon runner, my ankles are sprained." Again, if you're interested in snagging her first album, visit 6131 Records to pick up a copy of it! And her new album, "Turn Out the Lights," is available through Matador Records. See you all again on Wednesday!

Julien Baker is one of the brightest up-and-coming performers in music today. And long before she was selling out theatres all over the world, and opening for the likes of Iron and Wine, Jason Isbell, and Paramore, she was gigging in basements, VFW halls, and living rooms. Julien's DIY roots are one of the main reasons I wanted to chat with her. This is an expansive chat that covers a variety of topics from mental health to recovery, to the political landscape and the education system. Julien is one of the most brilliant young minds in the world today, so it was incredibly fun to pick her brain in such a relaxed and genuine manner. MUSIC NOTES: - You get to hear tunes from Julien's new album, "Turn Out the Lights," which was released in October through Matador Records. You can still snag physical copies through their store! - I share snippets of her songs, "Hurt Less," "Turn Out the Lights," and "Appointments." - During Jaclyn's ad, you also get to hear some of Julien's song, "Brittle Boned," from her debut LP, "Sprained Ankle," the roots of which is chronicled in this conversation. You can also snag a copy of that album through 6131 Records! ADVERTISING NOTES: - Today's episode is selfishly sponsored by our own nonprofit, The Art of Survival!

Chris Rosonina is a photographer, vinyl collector, and support staff for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID).

If you're in the Eastern Mass - Providence area, you've likely seen Chris at a gig taking pictures and rocking out - so we hope you get to learn more about him as a person, as a music lover, and as professional who works with a very misunderstood and stigmatized identity group. Make sure to give Chris a follow on Instagram @__sea.roses__! MUSIC NOTES: - In this episode, you got to hear tunes from the new Motel Art EP, "Continental Breakfast," which is a sick post-hardcore act from Haverhill, Mass.

Michi Tassey is a music therapist, the keyboardist and vocalist for People Like You, as well as the songwriter behind Nature Shots - her latest solo effort, with which she recently released her debut LP, Foreclosure. Foreclosure is an emotionally dense album. Throughout our conversation, Michi and I get into how channeling very personal source material can make for a very cathartic experience - especially when being present in the moments of which you're channeling. We also dig into Michi's work as a music therapist, where she understandably gets to nerd out a bit about how music impacts the brain - spoiler: it all comes down to rhythm - and how music can literally help people heal from traumatic injury. It's truly one of the most educational and informative conversations I've had on this podcast, and I'm sure you will love the hell out of it. Here's a great Boston Globe article about the power of Michi's music therapy work. MUSIC NOTE:- You get to hear a bunch of tunes from the new Nature Shots LP, "Foreclosure," on this episode! - You hear the tunes, "three," "what is the word for when you are screaming and no one can hear?" and "a prayer; begging," throughout this episode. - If you like what you hear, check out natureshots.bandcamp.com to listen to the entire album, and reach out the Michi if you would like to snag a cassette copy for yourself!

Jess plays guitar and sings and yells a whole bunch, and Tom plays guitar and sings and talks on the album as well. They're also BOTH recent college graduates!! In this chat, we dig into the origins of the band, what it takes to keep a band alive while attending college, and the importance of safety at gigs in today's #MeToo society of folks finally listening to survivors and holding abusers responsible for their actions.

It's part two of our first installment of the new monthly music-based program on the eduPUNX Podcast - In Between Spins! When we first came to you this week, I was joined by my friends Jaclyn O'Connell, the web marketing director for 6131 Records and a marketing guru for The Brixton Agency , as well as my buddy, Chris Rosonina, a concert photographer and vinyl collector in the Boston-Providence area. We discussed our top ten albums of 2017 - and it was a rip-roaring good time. We've already shared our 10-4 picks for 2017, and in this episode, you get our top 3! And you'll get to hear tunes from all 9 of those albums!

Do not attempt to adjust your screens, this week is our first monthly music chat feature with In Between Spins. At the end of each month, I will be joined by my friend and fellow music nerd, Jaclyn O'Connell - the web marketing director for 6131 Records and a marketing guru for The Brixton Agency - for a fun, educational, and informative conversation about music we are currently listening to and want to share with you! Jaclyn has also started In Between Spins as a way to share some of her favorite music through video blogs, as well as articles. This week, for our debut episode of In Between Spins, we are joined by our friend, Chris Rosonina, who is a concert photographer in the Providence/Boston area, as well as a beloved vinyl collector on Instagram. Chris is a fantastic friend of the podcast, and someone you will hear from in a future episode of the podcast (spoiler alert!). For now, I'm gonna let this episode speak for itself because there is a lot of music to discuss as we count down our top ten albums of 2017. Some folks know that I do a top 200 LPs list over on Instagram (and you can actually already see all of our lists there as well), but we wanted to break down our top tens in more detail here in conversation! We hope you learn a thing or two about some new music that it out there! After all, this is an education podcast, and I just wanna be able to spread information through the magic of the INTERNET! Note: This is only part 1 of 2 - the episode containing our top three choices will post later this week!

This is a special episode of the eduPUNX Podcast focused on fake news. Katy, Craig, and Vince get into what is fake news, what is satire, and what is misinformation.

We are back from vacation and ready to deliver more conversations with punk educators across the country! This week, Katy Hamm interviews their best friend and Skister (explained in the interview), Amanda Myers, who is a school psychologist in Wisconsin. These two have known each other for a very long time and during our stay at Amanda's place in Madison, Katy pulled out the microphone they had a very chill chat about a variety of topics - from Amanda being fluent in Spanish and working with English Language Learners, to being a tattooed educator in the conservative Midwest, to the ins and outs of being a school psychologist, as well as what it looks like to come out as a queer woman a little later in life! Even after having a kid! Katy and Amanda get into what being an educator can teach us about parenting as well! All this and more on the season two premiere of the eduPUNX Podcast!

This week is the season finale of the eduPUNX Podcast and I'm stoked to close out the season with a truly interesting and thoughtful dude. Derek Zanetti is the Homeless Gospel Choir. Zanetti writes protest songs that are meant to make people think and find some form of comfort. In this episode, we dig into what it takes to create a powerful protest song - and the answer might surprise you! We discuss what it's like coming up a poor kid, finding a home in punk, and being a rebellious kid and what that looked like in the classroom, and how Mr. Rogers really was the best educator. Hope you like this conversation, and hope you enjoy Derek's music! Big thanks to the folks at A-F Records as well as Josh Bakaitus at Secret Frnds for making this conversation possible.

Dan O'Hara is an Associate Director of Residence Life at Champlain College...for now. Dan is on his way of education after a decade in the field.

Dan is PSYCHED for his new life outside of education, but that's doesn't mean he is leaving easily - there's a lot that he's gonna miss.

Kat Stuehrk and Matt Walsh run the nonprofit, Our Music My Body. Our Music My Body is a Chicago-based collaborative campaign led by Between Friends & Rape Victim Advocates to raise awareness about sexual harassment in the music scene. They do this work because they believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable and safe when they go to a concert or festival. OurMusicMyBody works with festival and venue staff, musicians, and music fans alike to create fun and consensual music experiences for all.  We had a great chat the other night about the work they do, the challenges of confronting misogyny and harassment, and what it looks like to conscientiously attend gigs and festivals. It's work that I am personally dedicated to, and am thankful there are many others doing similar work in their communities! I hope you enjoy this chat - it's a topic that is very important to me and Katy - and if you would like to get involved, check out their contact info below!
