100% Ska Podcast

I host the weekly-ish almost all-vinyl podcast 100% Ska (Episode Archive), currently in its 4th year of production! You’ll hear a wide mix of what the genre has to offer from around the world and across the spectrum of time with an emphasis on more current releases. One-off podcast episodes may diverge to highlight my love of 70s / 80s punk, new wave, and other oddities from time to time.

On the social media side of things, you can follow the podcast Facebook page and subscribe on most podcast platforms!

Please get in touch to submit your music for play on the podcast and for interview opportunities!

Additionally I book and host Subway to Skaville, a showcase series in the heart of New York City presenting the best in local, regional and maybe even national ska bands.   Prior to the pandemic, I hosted four amazing shows at Otto’s Shrunken Head in the East Village.

Once it is safe to start hosting shows again, be on the look out for new events!

Bands, please get in touch for open time slots to play at an upcoming show.
