If I Ruled The World Podcast

Neil Rubenstein "Road Dog"

Since the day I started this podcast, Paul Bearer was and remained on my list of top 5 people that I had wanted to interview for more than one reason. I'm sure that its clear to almost anyone who has seen him play on any stage anywhere during his over 35 year career in music that he is one of the most unique front-men the hardcore/punk scene has ever had. Its an enduring legacy that persists because Paul is known as much for the great material he's been making for all those years on records as much as his for his classic rants, wit and epic storytelling in between the songs. So, as satisfying and almost familiar as it was to hear Paul speak in a way that reflected the lyrics and stage persona that many of us have come to know and expect over the years, it was intriguing and gratifying to hear him speak in a deep, caring and profound way. He showed a side I had never really seen before and spoke of things I had never heard in previous interviews.

Don Fury called in from his current studio in Troy, New York to discuss his incredible musical history and his current projects. Don Fury is most known for his recordings and production within the NYHC and Punk scene. He's been instrumental in working with bands as varied as Agnostic Front and Quicksand to GG Allin and Gorilla Biscuits in those musical genres. But, the truth is that for more than 30 years Fury has worked with hundreds of bands doing countless records in a wide variety of genres across 4 different studios that he's always independently owned and operated. Besides his current workload of working with bands all over the world, he's recently been self producing and publishing a documentary series on the history of his studio. The series prompted us to get him on the phone and ask him some questions about some of the highlights of his career. ______________________________________________________________________ Contact Don Fury on  www.donfury.com Watch the Story Of Don Fury Studio on Youtube.

We recently came across a podcast series by Josh Lefkowitz, aka "Whutsiznaim" called WHY YOU'LL NEVER BE A RAPPER.  To call this feat of audio just a "podcast" or an "audiobook" doesn't quite effectively explain what you'll hear in his series.  Josh calls it a "Mixtape Memoir" and it more aptly describes his exciting and one-of-a-kind narration and storytelling. We invited him to sit down and give us some insight into how and why he put it all together and where his life is at today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ToListen to WHY YOU'LL NEVER BE A RAPPER Click here->Apple Podcasts or  SoundCloud IG @whutsiznaim Twitter @coolmarriedwhut ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our sponsor ! Nautilus Coffee
