Articles
Here is a selection of some articles that I have written, talks given, a couple of podcasts, and an interview on punk rock .
PODCASTS
Here's an interview with Joseph Gervasi for his Loud!Fast!Philly! project chronicalling the Philadelphia punk scene. (Might have to scroll down.) Here's one with my bandmate Cordy Swope. And here's one with my bandmate Vosco Thom Adams.
The Imperfect Buddha dedicates a few podcast discussions to Speculative Non-Buddhism. Here is a full discussion. This partial discussion one begins at around 54:30. I also did two interviews (episodes 92 and 93).
INTERVIEWS
Here is an interview with me and my band mates about our adventure in the American punk underground, circa 1980s.
Here's another one, with Cordy Swope, at Seymour Magazine.
