EP54- PART 1-@MsEntropy Stops by to Talk Politics

Step into the chaotic, vibrant world of Midwest DIY culture with A Prairie Punk House Companion, hosted by longtime friends Neckbone & Jerbear. This isn't a polished history lesson; it's a raw, funny, and often surprising audio scrapbook pieced together from lived experience. Each episode digs into the specific ecosystem of punk houses that dotted Kansas and Missouri from the 1990s through the 2000s, exploring how these crumbling rentals became accidental community centers, venues, and anarchic art projects. You’ll hear stories that capture the era's essence-the thrill of a band tearing through a set in a crowded living room, the strange camaraderie of navigating a kitchen covered in flyers and spilled beer, and the quiet mornings after with a dozen friends crashed on any available floor. Blending music talk, comedic reflection, and interviews with others who were there, the podcast serves as an oral history of a scene built on cassette tapes, Xeroxed zines, and sheer stubborn energy. It’s about the sounds that fueled it and the spaces that contained it, all remembered with the fondness and clarity that only comes from having swept up the broken glass yourself. Tune in for a uniquely grounded perspective on punk life far from the coastal hubs, where the prairie wind whistled through the holes in the drywall and the show always went on.
