Episode 11: Pete Chramiec (Verbal Assault) plus 'Thoughts and Feelings' with Paul Schlesinger

Episode 11 is a little different.  The first half is a conversation between Jason and Pete Chramiec. The two dissect the timeline and events of a West Coast tour Jason went on with Pete's band Verbal Assault in 1986. Pete goes on to share stories of a South / Midwest tour VA did with NYHC legends Agnostic Front a couple years later. The second half of the episode is something like a therapy session between Jason and his friend and collaborator Paul Schlesinger. In the course of the session Jason shares anxiety he's been having about the podcast and the discrepancies he has recognized between his deeply held values and his actions. By understanding this disconnect he identifies concrete steps he can take to achieve greater harmony. Thank you for listening. Music: Agnostic Front: "Smell the Bacon" and  "Fuck All Authority" from their 1983 demo. Paul Schlesinger "Lovely Gift of Life" Jason Traeger: "Neutralize Existence"
