A podcast about life, music, people and the stories that bring us closer.

 

With interviews, folk punk & our own personal experiences, we discuss how you can show up through the many challenges of life and celebrate the victories when you do. There's no reason to do this alone, we can learn from each other even if we make some mistakes along the way. Join us as we embark on a journey to figure out how to find meaning & balance, navigate relationships & grow with you.

We have a strong connection to the folk-punk & DIY, underground music community in general, so you can expect to hear about that too. Prison, addiction & personal authority are themes that arise often during our conversations as well. We hope to become a valuable part of your life through our efforts with Back On The Grind.
