DetoxPod 103 : Mike Duquette (Writer)

Mike Duquette (Instagram) is the founder of the music reissue website The Second Disc and is also a music industry and culture journalism veteran. Full disclosure, Mike is also one of my best friends, and a big component of this episode is the up and down (mostly up) arc of our relationship. Mike talks about being a sheltered young person and growing into his self-awareness. He gives major props to those who have helped and are continuing to help him along his journey, from a high school teacher who gave him an appreciation for being different, to his wife Nicole. We also talk about the current state of the world and why unplugging is important, the merits of making sure your community stays asshole-free, and the perils of being "sensitive".
