"The 'Deads Not Punk' podcast was conceived by punk veterans Ewan Grant and Stuart Knight, both children of the 1960s who continue to work in the music today. This podcast takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of personal anecdotes, exploring the lasting impact that punk has had—and still has—on their lives. Alongside them, a mix of guests—including not only musicians and fans but also cultural contributors like artists, filmmakers, and authors—join the conversation. Together, they offer a rich, authentic insight into the world of punk from those who have lived it, created in it, and continue to contribute to its legacy." Hosted on Acast.
