Local humorist, Crazy Train, joins us in the studio to regale us with stories of his mild rebellions over the years.

39.5 MINISODE: sQuishiepuss and Friends

With his wry wit and radical candor, sQuishiepuss has a way of cutting straight through pretenses. In this doozy of an episode, he talks being a small town punk, and how hitting rock bottom, twice, taught him valuable lessons about investing in himself. We especially love his “Do what you love and don’t be an asshole” mantra, and his enduring belief that a little bit of punk-era ‘f**k the system’ is what the world really needs. Take a look at sQuishiepuss's work and read more at www.ydkmpodcast.com. The music in this episode is courtesy of www.bensound.com.

Three years ago, Elliott was in a bad place - he had just watched his business fall apart, and was left with an unclear path of where to go next. It was at that point that Elliott discovered a maker space, and an incredible community of creatives that would, over the next few years, become his family. Together, they’ve paved the way for other aspiring creatives and nerds to discover their inner ‘makers’, and of course, build really cool stuff.
