Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.

Slingin' Punk Tacos with Swanny

On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my Punk Tacos amigo Swanny. Here’s some of what we talk about:
First Question: What was your very first ever punk or ska show?
we talk about anxiety and when we choose to be the center of attention and when we want to blend in
Swanny shares his unusual journey to being on the radio as we also talk about the horrors of working a corporate HR job
we review each other’s Punk Tacos breaks and share what we think of them
we then give a little peek behind the curtain about how the process of getting new songs on Punk Tacos goes – we take it more seriously than you might guess
our shared love of live, local shows in dive bars
Swanny takes me through the origin, and composition, of the “A-OK Bomb,” an alcoholic beverage you can impress all of your friends with
we talk about his new band LMS and I take my guess as to what that stands for
self-awareness among artists and why local music, as a general rule, is better now than it was in the past
why you should go see the damned opening band
hipster takes: Who is a huge band you saw as an opener?
