This week I chat with Allie Triglianos, who is a Residence Director at Rutgers. Allie has been in Residence Life for YEARS - and the experiences she has amassed along the way have given her a great perspective on how to support students from all walks of life. Allie is a VERY visibly tattooed professional, which plays a massive role in her relationships with students on her campus. It can also create interesting interactions with colleagues and administrators - but sometimes those folks surprise us in their levels of acceptance. We explore that in this episode. Allie also came up in the NY/NJ hardcore scene and has gone to great lengths to dedicate herself to the scene - we dig into this life of hers and how aging a bit changes our perspective on getting into the pit. Hope you enjoy this one!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Community College LP, which is due out in March through Disposable America!
- We played the songs, “Novacaine,” and ‘Karaoke” on the episode this week - they’re both super chill songs and if you like what you heard, visit disposable-america.com to snag yourself a cassette before the release in March.
- And in case you missed last week’s episode on label owners, make sure you listen to that episode ASAP because it features Dustin Watson, who runs Disposable America.
