Episode 268

So this was a varied week on the Punknews Podcast featuring Adam White, John Gentile and Ricky Frankel. We had an edition of our periodic vinyl chat to discuss some new finds, we took a look at the drama surrounding Geoff Rickley's Collect Records and their unexpected association with dirty pharma dollars, and we took a look at the recent Pussy Riot news from Dismaland.

Oh, and in the wake of his big US tour and upcoming record we got the Pope on the line to play him some Rudimentary Peni, as one does.
