Description
John Holmstrom is the founder and editor of Punk Magazine, which helped give the name, identity and personality to the music we love and spawned zine culture as we know it. His distinctive art is instantly recognizable to anyone who loves music, appearing on the Ramones ‘Rocket to Russia’ and ‘Road to Ruin’ albums (among many other places). What’s not as well known is the challenges of making a living off of art and how the pursuit of a steady paycheck can be incredibly challenging, even for a ‘famous’ artist. We talk about John’s love of music, his college years at SVA and learning from iconic artists like Harvey Kurtzman, his transition from art to full-time editor at High Times magazine, and making ends meet in a changing downtown Manhattan neighborhood that no longer looks like home. It’s a fascinating, insightful and sometimes extremely funny conversation that gets behind the art that helped define punk rock.

02 Chris Gethard - Comedian/Actor/Podcaster (Suburban NJ Punk Scene): Can attending suburban basement shows lead to success as a professional broadcaster? Chris Gethard wasn’t in a band but he takes a very punk rock approach to his career. His Beautiful Anonymous Podcast, Career Suicide HBO Special and The Chris Gethard Show are all one-of-a-kind creations each with it’s own cult following. Chris gets into how growing up around underground music led to underground comedy and ultimately a DIY approach to more mainstream show business. We dig into aspects of his behavior that have persisted since childhood, heartbreaking revelations and just how difficult it is to make it as a professional entertainer. by Killed by Desk
