59 - Stars (Hum/Bleeding Through)
September 25, 2020 00:00 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBThis week Sam tries his luck with a new vocation... dramatic reading. Hopefully this episode will be the catalyst for new career path, but until then please enjoy this episode discussing "Stars" by Hum as covered by Bleeding Through for Punk Goes 90's.

54 - The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show
August 21, 2020 03:33 - 2 hours - 57.7 MBThis weeks diversionary episode is in celebration of the 45th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture.

50 - All Star (Smash Mouth/Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!)
July 24, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBsomeBODY once me this is an extra special episode of Punk Goes Pod. Not just because Richard S. He makes a triumphant return.

42 - Dead Mans Party (Oingo Boingo/A Thorn For Every Heart)
June 28, 2020 04:26 - 47 minutes - 21.8 MBRe-uploaded in the interest of stabilising our play count. This podcast is good, but not 1K listens in 24 hours good. What could be more lively than a dead man's party? This weeks episode of Punk Goes Pod of course. This week Sam is more than happy to derail the pod to discuss the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Hd remake (remember that's Tony pronounced Tonny). The pair also discuss the excellent 2019 documentary Hail Satan? And yes they even find time to go over this weeks song "Dead Ma...

44 - Get This Party Started (P!nk / Stretch Arm Strong)
June 13, 2020 05:39 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBYou may (or may not) have noticed that we didn't release an episode last week. As the Black Lives Matter movement approached critical mass, spurring a surge of protests against police brutality across the United States and worldwide, it didn't feel right to be occupying space that instead could have been dedicated to listening to and amplifying Black voices. Pressing on with a project like this seems pretty redundant at the best of times; but especially so at the moment. The last thing anyo...
43 - I Remember You - Skid Row/The Ataris
May 29, 2020 01:12 - 1 hour - 28.8 MBAnother episode in the books, this weeks path of discussion leads through the topics of garlic bread as the one and only entree, unexpected songs that make us want to punch stuff, stubborn fathers, and the two hosts also didn't forget to talk about I Remember you, by American rock band, Skid Row (as covered by The Ataris).

Enter 'Stay What You Are (or change if you need to)': Indianapolis musician Jordan Banks' full-length cover of Saves The Day's sophomore album. Recorded over several months and released on Banks' 35th b...
42 - Dead Man's Party (Oingo Boingo.A Thorn For Every Heart)
May 22, 2020 07:36 - 47 minutes - 21.8 MBWhat could be more lively than a dead man's party? This weeks episode of Punk Goes Pod of course.

The pair also discuss the excellent 2019 documentary Hail Satan? And yes they even find time to go over this weeks song "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo, as covered by A Thorn For Every Heart.
41 - Down (Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne/Breathe Carolina)
May 15, 2020 07:07 - 1 hour - 36.3 MBIf your feeling down hopefully Punk Goes Pod can lift your spirits once more. As per usual Punk Goes Pod is joined by Richard S. He, who at this point has probably been on more episodes than not. This weeks song "Down" by Jay Sean ft.

This weeks discussion revolves around Inter State Lovesong (Stone Temple Pilots/Memphis May Fire), silent films, and... Puddle of Mudd?
38 - Till The World Ends (Britney Spears/I See Stars)
April 25, 2020 06:44 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBIt's Britney again, bitch! In this week's bumper episode, Richard S. He is joined by co-hosts Emma and Sam for a roundabout discussion of Britney Spears' 'Till The World Ends', as covered by Michigonian electronicoremen I See Stars. On top of an exclusive table read of the infamous I See Stars x Ronnie Radke beef, other talking points (of which there are many) include Richard's impassioned campaign to abolish time zones, the rise and rise of #Comradeney, and the pros and cons of ironic band t...
