Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Podcast

Greetings! I hope you are all well. Though I don't post here often -- writing my forthcoming book "Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History" which will be published by DiWulf Publishing in 2021 has taken up much of my time the last 3 years -- I wanted to share a new project related to the book and this blog. 

This blog and all the time and research I invested into it for several years was a real labor of love. But that work and the American ska history I uncovered along the way was instrumental in helping create the blueprint for my book. 

As the book goes into production -- layout and design -- I've started an audio companion in the form of a podcast that features stories about the bands featured in the book as well as interviews with American ska and reggae musicians and influencers featured in the book. 

As the book comes closer to a publication date, I'll be sure to post more details and information here. In the meantime, for your listening pleasure, here are the first 16 episodes of the podcast. 

 Happy holidays and may 2021 bring better things for all of us!
