85: Casey Arn & Teaching High School Science (a bit about Vinyl, too)

August 25, 2020 / Craig Bidiman

Casey Arn is a high school science teacher in Oregon - he’s also a massive vinyl collector and one of my good friends! Casey has been in the education world for his entire adulthood and has a lot of wisdom to bestow upon our listeners on this episode. I’m excited that we got to chat about how he got into education and how his role at a small school consists of wearing a number of hats that require him to be prepared for really anything that comes his way. We also get into how he started collecting records and discuss the renaissance that vinyl has had over the last few years. There’s a lot to cover in this one, so I hope you dig it!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new I’m Glad It’s You album, “Every Sun, Every Moon,” which was released earlier this year through 6131 Records.

83: Ryan Ribeiro & Punk Community Standards

August 05, 2020 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

I’m back after a three month hiatus and ready to get into it with another great punk educator in the world! Ryan Ribeiro works at Union College in upstate New York, where he now does community standards and conduct work after years of working in residence life. Fresh out of that life, Ryan is ready to tackle supporting students during the pandemic! The other side of Ryan’s life is full of punk tunes - primarily PUP and Jeff Rosenstock - the Fest community, and a lovely dog named Rocko. We hope you enjoy this conversation - it goes some places because Ryan and I have a history of being full of big ol’ ENFP Sagittarius energy.

MUSIC NOTE:

80: Sara Lieto - Being a Poet & a Woman in STEM

March 24, 2020 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Sara Lieto is a poet, an app developer, and all-around wonderful human. Selfishly, I wanted to interview Sara because I wanted to learn more about what she does - since we always interact at the gig in Boston but never seem to make the time to sit down and have a proper chat. So I reached out and here we are! Sara has a knack for the written word and does some great work spreading radical feminism wherever she goes. This brand of feminism creates a great foundation for her as she navigates a heavily male-dominated field. We dig into gender roles and expectations, as well as what writers got us into performing and writing poetry, and of course we talk about the gig! Hope you enjoy this one!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Worriers album, “You or Someone You Know” which came out earlier this month through 6131 Records.
- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Big Feelings,” “PWR CPLE,” and “Curious.” You can check out the entire “You or Someone You Know” album through all of the streaming platforms! You can even download the album on bandcamp!

- Also, if you’re into physical music, make sure you snag a vinyl copy of the album as well!

December 08, 2019 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

Joe Palana is a stand up comedian based in Boston, he is also an autism researcher - and on this episode, we discuss the ways in which Joe connects those two aspects of his life. Joe is a quick-witted, hilarious person who I watch perform virtually each week. We dig into Joe’s history as a Harvard alum, how he traveled the country doing stand up comedy, as well as his love of ska, new wave hip hop and jazz. Joe also breaks down his connection to supporting individuals with autism and how his career became caring for this under-researched population. Hope you dig this episode, it was a blast to record!

75: Rachel Betron & Anti-Imperialist Activism

November 22, 2019 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

This week I chatted with Rachel Betron! They work at Seattle University - in my home region of the Pacific Northwest! So it was nice to talk to someone so close to home! While Rachel and I haven’t met in human form yet, we hit it off quickly as this conversation quickly veered into some awesome topics. We started with Rachel’s educational and professional trajectory and eventually branched off into a larger conversation on the Seattle QTPOC DIY community - it’s roots in anti-imperialist and anti-fascist work. Rachel is a dedicated educator and activist and it was inspiring to hear them discuss these topics and I hope you enjoy the conversation!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Macseal album, “Super Enthusiast,” which was recently released by 6131 Records.
- If you’ve been around the podcast for a minute, you might remember that I interviewed Macseal’s drummer, Francesca Impastato, about femme representation in the music scene last year - check it out HERE!

61: Label Owner Round Up (with Joey Cahill, Jake Sulzer & Dustin Watson)

January 24, 2019 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

This week is another special conversation of the podcast - it’s also the firs to include THREE guests. Individually, I sat down with Joey Cahill, Jake Sulzer, and Dustin Watson to discuss their record labels. This was an idea that came to me one day when I coincidentally was planning to hang out with the three dudes one day and was like, “hey! wanna do my podcast?” Glad this episode could come together - granted, a day later than usual, but it’s a good one, so I hope you all dig it!

6131 Records:
Joey Cahill is a founder of 6131 Records, which began in California and is now based in Virginia -- yet, Joey lives in Boston! 6131 Records was chosen for this conversation because it’s a well-established label that has launched acts like Joyce Manner, Cruel Hand, Julien Baker, Touche Amore, and Culture Abuse. The label has evolved, turning out some fantastic new acts like Macseal, Late Bloomer, If you like the conversation, and the tunes (some Kindling for ya!), head over to 6131Records.com to learn more about the label and to pick up some tunes!

Counter Intuitive Records:
Jake Sulzer started Counter Intuitive Records a few years ago on a whim - he wound up growing the label into a new school emo/garage powerhouse. Jake was chosen for this conversation because his label has been growing exponentially to the point where he just recently obtained his official business license! The label launched the fantastic acts, Oso Oso, Mom Jeans, and Prince Daddy and the Hyena, and has put out some great releases from Retirement Party, Just Friend, oldsoul, and a re-issue of the epic State Lines album, “Hoffman Manor.” If you dig our conversation, check out counterintuitiverecords.com!

Disposable America:
Dustin Watson runs Disposable America, which is a DIY label out of Boston - out of his living room, no less. Dustin was chosen for this conversation because his label is pretty quaint and there aren’t many plans to explode it into anything too large. It’s a manageable-sized label that has put out tunes (primarily on cassette) from the likes of Horse Jumper of Love, Lillith, DUMP HIM, Soft Fangs, Infinity Girl, and halfsour. If you like what you heard in this conversation, visit disposable-america.com and get some tunes!

58: Francesca Impastato (Macseal) & the Representation of Queer Women Drummers

November 07, 2018 / Craig Bidiman

WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

We’re back after a month away with a chat with Macseal drummer, Francesca Impastato. Francesca is a graduate of Berklee College of Music - where she focused on drums and music business, as well as instrument repair - of which, she has a fantastically misogynistic story to share. Francesca began drumming at the age of 5 - and not just hitting the drums with sticks, but actually finding the rhythm and beat and playing from there. One could say she was born to play the drums.

Francesca and I sat down in my practice space in Allston, Mass on Sunday while a jam band was rocking out above us to chat about everything that came to our minds. It was great timing because Francesca was only in Boston for a short period of time before heading down to New York to prepare for Macseal’s weekender tour. So we hope you dig this conversation - cuz we had a lot of fun having it!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week we shared tunes from the new Macseal EP, “Map it Out,” which comes out Friday! You can get a digital copy or cassette of the album through 6131 Records!
- Macseal is a brilliant new school indie emo band that has made a big wave through multiple DIY tours up and down the east coast and across the country. The band is poised to be a big hit with a full-length album on the horizon in another year or so!
- In this episode, we played the songs, “Sure thing, Shelly,” “Harry,” and “Next to You.”
- Also, all of the band’s music is already available FOR DOWNLOAD on their bandcamp site, so you have no reason to not download this album right now!

As always, you can CHECK OUT OUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!
