From Angst to Action - Ep. 1 w/Lizzy of Chicago

Welcome!!! You may have noticed this is a BRAND NEW EMO TRASH SIDESHOW!!! You noticed correctly!

From Angst to Action is a new show by Emo Trash that looks into the connections between the music scene and local politics and activism while also showcasing how exciting, inspiring, and fulfilling getting involved in your local community can be.

Episode 1 starts at full steam ahead with an hour and a half deep dive with Lizzy of the Emo Social Club Podcast regarding many things, including her activism in Chicago, and experiences as a journalist at a fairly traditional news station during the Black Lives Matter movement. Make sure to check out the Emo Social Club podcast and follow all the great work they do in and out of the music scene!

Lastly, this weeks local organization we will be fundraising for is The Night Ministry! A personal favorite of this weeks guest Lizzy, The Night Ministry is a Chicago Based organization that works to provide "housing, health care, and human connection" to those struggling in the community. It's an absolutely wonderful organization that we're incredibly excited to support and you can go to our twitter ( @podcastsemo) to learn more!

So, what does that all have to do with anything? WELL, will be running a small fundraiser for every single episode of From Angst to Action! For each episode we are going to have our guest pick a charity or non profit in their local community that they support and we will be running a small fundraiser for them over on twitter (and likely Instagram as well). Basically, I (Jer) will be matching up to the first 30$ donated and for every donation of 3 dollars or over with a posted receipt I will make that person a small personalized playlist of artists and songs I think they'll enjoy. Hopefully it will be a cute and fun time and lead to some good money being donated to a great cause.

Oh and this sick theme song is Twilight Baseball Scene by Magazine Beach who are the BEST BAND, and lightly edited by me.

Hope ya enjoy!

And thanks for reading this far :)
