Okay, Last Try

Welcome back to “Okay, Last Try” - for our latest episode, we hit up our good friend, author, musician, and journalist Anthony Poppalardo.

We also delved into the state of skate media, hardcore zines, and print media, as well as a now-outdated SOTY conversation.

Welcome back! For this week’s episode, we talked to one of Long Island’s finest exports, Mike Lent. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s Mike was crucial to the construction and upkeep of a couple of Long Island DIY spots - the infamous Pizza Palace and a personal favorite, the Brentwood DIY. Mike was pro for Northern Co and his footage can be seen in bunch of iconic New York videos - Grapevine, Hot Plate, and Cutting Room Floor, to name a few. In this episode, we grill Mike on what goes into making a DIY and DIY etiquette, the Long Island skate scene while he was coming up, and fatherhood.

Welcome back to "Okay, Last Try" - instead of our regularly programmed interview-style episode, we decided to just plug the mics in and kick it with our buddy and fan favorite, Mike Regan. We shot the shit about stickers, the Antonio glazing and hating, and getting old. We also played a quiz game that was far too easy for Mike. Hope you enjoy!
