145.5. Jackie Valko: How A "Midlife Crisis" Led Her To Midwest Emo | Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA 145.5! On todays minisode we are joined by Jackie Valko! If you've been living under a rock (or you're just not on instagram) Jackie started playing drums just under 600 days ago and somewhere along the way she fell into the world of emo and since then has become a beloved figure in our community. We had to talk to Jackie to get to know how this all started, her favorite moments and memories along the way and so much more. Jackie was an absolute ray of sunshine! We yapped about some of our mutual pals like Shane from Adjust The Sails, The Bowling Boyz, Latchkey Kids and so much more. 10 seconds with Jackie and we immediately were charmed, what a sweet woman.
