(RECORDED ON MAY 23, 2023) This is a multi-tiered episode of sorts, if you will. The Mulkilteo Fairies were one of jamilah's most favoritest hardcore/punk bands in the early to mid 1990s, as she was a young punk kid trying to figure life out. She wanted to always meet the people behind that band- and eventually met Josh (while he was in the band Behead The Prophet NLSL) and Quitty (while hanging out in Olympia, WA), respectably- so starting out, this is both an (a. 'Meet Your Heroes', as well as a (b. 'Giving Flowers' episode, combined.
Of course, the people we looked up to as young people are humans, and sometimes those humans are around the same age as us, and sometimes we have similar friend groups (which is not hard if you're in the punk scene, especially in a smaller city on the map). So of course this is also a 'reunion' episode, as jamilah and Josh have reconvened after a long, long period.
Josh has been very, very busy over the years, bringing awareness to the connections between punk and veganism via his role as a traveling chef over the years doing dinner parties. A few published cookbooks of his are 'So Raw It's Downright Filthy', 'In Search Of The Lost Taste', 'Hey Ho Let's Dough!' and 'This Ain't no Picnic: Your Punk Rock Vegan Cookbook'. Residents in Billings, Montana have also seen him selling baked goods and herbs at the local farmer's market.
Josh is a person with such a well-rounded experience (while not ignoring the punk roots that shape him), and we hope you have a positive experience listening to this conversation! (ed. note: We want to apologize for whatever tech/mic issues occurring in this episode. We hope it doesn't get in the way of the content. We did our best to work through them- so even the tech spirit is punk as well!)
