After a slight, unintended hiatus, we’re back and bringing you an episode filled with an eclectic selection of ska styles you can find on each show. We are always here to fill that void of your favorite old ska college radio show!

DJ Ryan Midnight spins records and tells stories on 100% Ska Podcast, a weekly journey pulled exclusively from his vinyl collection. This isn't a random shuffle; it's a curated ride across the entire ska landscape. Each episode connects the dots, placing brand-new releases from today's vital bands right alongside the foundational sounds of 1960s Jamaica. You'll get the energetic anthems of the 2-Tone era, the punk-infused classics from the third wave, and deep-cut rarities that even seasoned fans might have missed. The focus remains firmly on the music's evolution and its current heartbeat, highlighting artists who are actively carrying the genre forward. Occasionally, the conversation turns to the people behind the music through interviews with bands, offering a glimpse into their process and passion. And while the commitment is to ska in all its forms, Ryan sometimes lets the set list wander into adjacent territories for a rare change of pace. Tune in for a genuine, crate-digger's enthusiasm that celebrates ska's past, present, and future, all heard through the warm crackle of analog grooves.
