Mattie is once again joined by Gary of the Backyard Superheroes. As is customary of his appearances they talk quite a bit about toys, cartoons, comics and the ilk. But fret not as we do discuss our favorite ska releases of the year thus far including some album called Mass Hysteria. Plus the introduction of quiet time and the rise of the Ska Chef.

On this absolute monster of an episode Mattie is joined by Courtney and Aaron of The Prizefighters. In a somewhat shocking change of pace we mostly talk about ska. What it was like during the so-called "Dark Ages", how the scene is doing today and above all else to be kind.

Come join Mattie as they talk with Tara of Half Past Two about their new record, joining Bad TIme, tales of Hollywood, Disney magic and the best darn burger joint in Los Alamitos.

Oh, hey there Talkers. It's been a bit since we've done an episode, but we're back with a doozy. Kicking off our return to the podcast scene is a new interview with Duck and Bex of Joystick. It was an absolute honor to get to interview them about their new EP Dwell. But there's so much more we talk the ska, dogs, head injuries, philosophy, the Bad TIme Family and though we tried our darndest not to, BEANS.

Come along as we talk to Lexington, Kentucky's The Rough Customer on an all new Unstructured! We discuss their new album, old albums, various pop culture topics, and of course SKA!

Short and sweet. We're back. We play ska. We talk about the ska. Same as the last 149 episodes before this one and it feels so good. Featuring music by Big D & the Kids Table, The Bakesys, The Simulators, Stop The Presses, Last Edition, TheNix86, The JB Conspiracy, Flying Raccoon Suit, The Best of The Worst, Joystick, and Animal Chin.

Yes, this is the May! We said we were gonna do it and now we have. While we aren't the biggest fan of Star Wars we are a big fan of ska and there is a lot of ska based on it. This ended up being a bit more 90's focus than we intended it to be. Though that's where our head has been at lately, so can't say we're too surprised. Some come along and listen to some tunes by The Prizefighters, Greenhouse, Orange Tree, Eclectics, Skabba the Hut, Luke Skawalker, RedEyed Jedi, The Double Deckers, The Blackouts, Wreckinghorn, and Thumper.

That's right everyone, we are finally back (again) with a new episode. It's a little later than we would have liked, but there's been a lot going on lately. But it seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight and we are gonna talk about some ska dagnabbit! An astounding amount of awesome tracks in this episode from longtime scene stalwarts and young up and comers alike. Featuring music by Buster Shuffle, The Busters, Los Super Duppers, The Third Rates, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Link 80, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Ghost Tones, The Sensibles, Skaffolding, and The Slackers.

There are two very important lessons I learned in the production of this episode. 1) It has been far too long since our last proper episode and I miss it terribly. 2) Never again will I record in my kitchen, it's sort of a sonic nightmare. I also should take notes, but we all knew that already. One the plus side this episode features loads of new music, stuff we missed, the birth of "Talkers" and even a contest! Featuring music by Wild Man Riddim, The Abruptors, The Regards, The Resojets, Something To Do, Backyard Superheroes, O Leopardo, tryingtogetby, Chango Munks, The End Times, Culture Shock, and Jeff Rosenstock!

Well hello there! It's been a bit since we last posted an episode, but we're finally back! This one has been in the works for quite awhile and it shows, because it's massive! Featuring music by Gentlemen's Dub Club, The Bakesys, Rude City Riot, The Penniless Loafers, Left Alone, The Rude Ways, El Piloto Ciego, Ska Freaks, Skabara, Meskales, Dance Contraption, Belangkon Haji, and The Bruce Lee Band! It's certainly a great time to be a ska fan here in 2021.

I am absolutely delighted by this weeks guests. As I note in the episode, Joystick was played all the way back in the very first episode of Talk The Ska. So it's a pretty big deal to have them on talking about their hotly anticipated new album. Also their next album...not really. But maybe? This also pretty much cements beans being a thing now.
