Mike Dines + Russ Bestley

Lots of new PUNKAST content is coming soon! In the meantime...

It’s here… the Punk Scholars Podcast!

Co-hosts and producers, Jessica Schwartz (UCLA) and Paul Hollins (Bolton), set out to explore the seemingly paradoxical role of punk (and punks) in the academy and break with oft-generalized dismissals by highlighting the pivotal contributions and necessary interventions made by punk scholarship.

And, who better to kick off the first episode than Punk Scholars Network (PSN) founding members Mike Dines (Chair and Co-founder of the PSN) and Russ Bestley (Designer and Writer). Our two illustrious guests have been at the forefront of the formation and development of the PSN, and we get in deep about issues of institutional legitimacy and the absolute necessity of punk scholars’ (networked) camaraderie. Both informative and poignant, this inaugural episode of the Punk Scholars Podcast (PSP) sets the stage for what promises to be an educational, engaging, and dare we say entertaining first season!
