The week of June 11, 2013

This is the 150th episode of the Punknews Podcast. Let that simmer for a moment. A bunch of nerds who generally can't get anything done or posted in a timely manner, have somehow convened almost weekly for three years to make 150 shows that literally dozens of you have enjoyed. Wow!

It's a special one, too, as the original roundtable lineup of Adam White, Bryne Yancey and Rich Verducci reunite to talk about the 20th anniversary of Bad Religion's Recipe For Hate, our excitement for the upcoming Descendents documentary, and The Replacements playing Riot Fest, which was announced as we were recording the show. We talked about breaking news as if we were broadcasting live; how cool. Oh, and Adam White made jokes about Toronto mayor Rob Ford.

All this, plus music from Sugar Stems, Arnocorps and Careers In Science. And we debut our brand new theme music, thanks to Night Birds and Fat Wreck Chords!

So we apparently have an email address associated with the Punknews Podcast. We say so ever week on the show. You would think that we would therefore check said mailbox regularly. We do not. That all changes on this week's episode, where John Gentile, Adam White, Kira Wisniewski and Armando Olivas do the most exciting thing we've ever done on the show: read email!

…to break up the doldrums we play some music by Post Teens, Street Cheetah, Reviver and Souvenirs.
