Episode 112: Mia Zapata and the Snivelling Little Rat Faced Gits

Today we present to you a murder mystery solved after a decade by modern technology, but oh so much more, it’s a story of punk rock anarchists, the birth of the Seattle Grunge movement, Riot Grrrls, squatters, freaks and revolutionaries.

It is also a terribly tragic tale of an amazing talent cut down before her prime, but it is also a story of hope, music and love.

It is the story of Mia Zapata and the Sniveling Little Rat Faced Gits!
