What does it take to open a Punk Rock Museum? During this episode The Punk Rock Chronicles talks to some of the players involved in launching this punk rock mecca located in Las Vegas NV. We talk to Alison Braun, Melanie Kaya and Vennie Fiorello to get a behind the scenes look at putting it together.

There's a raw energy and a defiant spirit that defines punk, far beyond the three chords and shouted vocals. The Punk Rock Chronicles Podcast digs into that essence with hosts Stan Mueller, Chris Tjernagel, and Rob Imlay (often known as Bob the Bastard). Their conversations move past simple nostalgia or record reviews, though those elements are certainly present. Instead, they focus on the people-the musicians, both legendary and emerging, alongside the promoters, artists, and scene-shapers whose lives are intertwined with punk's relentless beat. You'll hear firsthand accounts that capture the chaos, the creativity, and the community built in basements and dive bars. This podcast serves as an oral history, capturing stories from the past while keeping a firm ear to the ground for what's next. It’s a space where the attitude and outlook that fuel the music are given a voice, episode after episode. Listening feels like pulling up a chair in a crowded venue backroom, offering an unfiltered, personal look at the sounds and stories that continue to challenge the status quo. For anyone who feels that punk is a lens for viewing the world, not just a playlist, this is where those conversations live.
