Adult Education
by Jeff St. Pierre

Now I'm craving information. Join me for Adult Education, a podcast that aims to bring conversations with experts in all different fields so we can learn a little something new.

Matt Sullivan from Title Holder
To all of the Ska music fans that are checking out this podcast, I mean you no harm. I have a love and appreciation for ska. But you have to admit there are a lot of mixed feelings out there for punk rock with horns. I'm so excited to speak with Matt Sullivan from the band Title Holder. I've...

The Past, Present, and Future of Reality TV with Calum Marsh
When reality tv took over the world in the early 00's many people thought it was just going to be a fad. There was no way these shows could last, right? More than two decades later and reality programming is alive and well. Journalist and author Calum Marsh has a new book titled, "True Lies: The...

Shane Maziekien from Turn Two on Rediscovering Passion
For a long time it was said that punk rock was a young man's game. Being in a punk band was something you did in high school or your early to mid 20's. But at some point you have to grow up and become an adult. It's a tale as old as time. So, what happens to all of those punks when they get…

Introducing Mitch Rip
Over the last few months I've fallen back in love with music. I turned my TikTok account into a music discussion. Check it out @stpierreonair. Through this experiment I've been able to discover a lot of new, and developing, artists, and I've made some great connections. I'm going to have a lot of...

Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories with Uncover Up's Lee Kuhnle & Nathan Radke
I love a good conspiracy theory and the discourse that can surround it. But, doesn't it feel like conspiracy theories are becoming much more rampant? The stories are starting to get larger and wilder. I saw a neighbor on the nextdoor app blame potholes in our neighborhood on an evil cabal of…

The Unskippables - Tyler CHilders' "Purgatory" with Sheyna Gee
Most of the time when I ask artists about albums that inspired them they will reference an artist or album that came out when they were younger. Or, maybe one that came out when they were learning how to play music. They tend to be choices that had a major impact on their growth with music. In...

The Unskippables - Eric Church's "The Outsiders" with Payton Smith
It's been a long hiatus but my series called The Unskippables is back. I speak with a musician about an album they think is perfect from start to finish. An album with no skips. This week I caught up with my old friend Payton Smith. I say "old" because I met him 7 years ago, but he's still 26.…

The man behind so many of the incredible promos and branding of 90's WWE (and WWF), David Sahadi, takes some time to talk about his history and time in the world of wrestling. We discuss his new memoir, "Backstage Pass: Tales From Beyond The Squared Circle." His story is great. He literally was…

The Book Of Eastbay with Art Juedes & Rick Gering
It brings me so much joy to have an opportunity to speak with the founders of the Eastbay catalog. The days that the catalog appeared in the mailbox were the best days. I spent so much time looking through each sneaker, reading all of the descriptions, and circling the shoes I wanted the most.…

"It's Only Forever: Labyrinth" with Jes Battis
For a certain generation of people the movie Labyrinth, originally released in 1986, still holds a very special place in their hearts. Taken at face value the film is a fun (maybe fun isn't the right word) romp through an imaginary world filled with goblins, fairies, smelly bogs, and other...

Tiktok's Professor T on Keeping Music Stories Alive
My feed on Tiktok is filled with music, some politics and horny national parks. You can look that last one up yourself. The music content has been giving me so much joy. I love discussing music with people, and reminiscing about the songs, and artists, that I've loved over the years. Recently my...

Josh Sullivan On The Failure Of The Olympic Women's Slopestyle Snowboarding Event
If you watched any of the Olympic snowboarding competitions you may have noticed the same thing I did. These elite athletes, the best in the world, were struggling to land their signature tricks and runs. One could take that as they were trying to go big for the gold and just didn't have "it"…

Raised On Radio with Paul Rees
There's a magic and intrigue about rock music and radio from the mid to late 70's into the 80's. I'm talking Foreigner, Boston, Journey, Genesis and so many more in the genre known as AOR. That stands for Album Oriented Rock. Paul Rees has published an incredible oral history of those years with...

Fenway Punk With Chris Wrenn
Between the years of 1999-2004 there was no bigger rivalry in sports than that of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. These two storied baseball teams have always had a bitter rivalry, but it hit new levels during this five year period. A group of guys from Boston's vibrant punk rock scene...

Epic Disruptions With Scott D. Anthony
The word 'disruptor' has a distinct connotation. It tends to be tied to Silicon Valley and the tech world. It's the whole 'move fast and break things' mantra. But, there have been disruptors throughout history. Any time something new comes along and throws the world, and culture, into a frenzy,...

Don't Be Yourself With Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Do More In Four with Jared Lindzon
You may have heard a conversation growing about changing the standard workweek from 5 days down to 4. 32 hours a week instead of 40. In just about every test, or trial, companies have found that a shorter workweek has benefitted them. As did their employees. But the 4 day workweek hasn't quite...

The Oral History Of The Vampire Diaries With Samantha Highfill

Stephanie Burt On Taylor's Version

Jesusland with Joelle Kidd
When I was 18 years old I found myself, accidentally, at a Christian music festival in New Hampshire. It was called the Inside Out Soul Festival. I was invited to a weekend music festival and thought it would be fun. It wasn't until I got there that I realized what I was getting myself into. It…

It Can't Rain All The Time: A Discussion About 'The Crow' With Alisha Mughal
Do you ever talk about your favorite things through top 5 lists? Like, you have your top 5 tv shows, or top 5 songs, etc. No? Just me? Cool. When I look back at my favorite movies and soundtracks, you'll find The Crow in the top 5 of both categories. The film still makes me feel emotions I didn't...

How The Y2K Era Changed The World With Colette Shade
In the same way that we use B.C. and A.D. to describe time and eras, I think we should have a new way to describe pre-2000 and post-2000. The world started to shift in ways that were never imaginable when we entered into the 21st century. We never got our flying cars and hoverboards (well, REAL...

Luke Smith On Formula One with 'On The Grid'

Lollapalooza with Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour
I can't tell you how many days and hours I spent in dusty, or paved, parking lots in various cities watching the Warped Tour. It was a part of my summer every year for about a decade. I wouldn't miss it. As much joy as I found at the Warped Tour, it never would've happened without Lollapalooza....

Trousdale On Finding A Voice, New Music and Touring
Do you remember that old SNL skit with Chris Farley where he would interview famous people? It was so uncomfortable, but yet funny. He would act like a nervous fan. For example, he interviewed Paul McCartney once and said, "You remember when you were with the Beatles? That was awesome." I was…

99% Perspiration with Adam Chandler
We've all heard all the stories about work. We've been told since we were kids that if we work hard that we'll see success, and if we don't, it's because we did something wrong. Or, that we're not working hard enough. We've heard tales from older generations about how they came to this country…
