This week's new Punks in Pubs episode ties in with WrestleMania (the World Cup or Superbowl for wrestling fans)!
Liam went to Bethnal Green in London and spoke to Emily Read the co-creator of the all-female, punk charged pro-wrestling organisation - Eve Wrestling.
So what do they talk about?
Punk and wrestling of course! Liam digs into Emily's past love of punk rock, they discuss the link between punk culture and wrestling while Emily also schools Liam on what size a man has to be before she sees them as a “Big Man”!
Emily talks about her path into wrestling, a path that sadly involved sexual assault; an issue that Emily believes still blights women wrestling.
We also discuss a subject that is close to this podcast's heart, and that's mental health. Emily opens up about her mental health and how it nearly took her life.
If you have been affected by any of the above issues, you can reach out to professionals who can help like the Samaritans or The Survivors Trust.
Back to wrestling and music - they talk about the perfect wrestling attire as well as the importance of that ring walk music.
To celebrate this punk wrestling special all the music featured in this episode is wrestling themed with music from Secretions, Antiseen, Cheap Pop and WWE Hall of Famer Litas band The Luchagors
As always, a new or unsigned band playing out the show and this week they're a punk band based out of Kiev, Ukraine. They're called 'Cardinal Birds' - a band your ears need to hear.
