Turned Out A Punk
Damian Abraham’s life has taken some unexpected turns, from fronting a critically acclaimed band to brief stints as a VJ and a food network host, along with helping create a television series about wrestling. Through it all, a constant thread has been his deep, abiding obsession with punk music. That obsession is the heart of Turned Out A Punk, where Damian sits down each week with a different guest from all sorts of backgrounds. The conversations aren't just about music history or record collections, though those elements certainly surface. Instead, the focus is on a pivotal, personal moment: how and when each person discovered punk, and the profound, often surprising ways that discovery rerouted their life’s path. The premise plays with the idea that punk was a fleeting novelty that expired decades ago, yet these stories repeatedly prove its enduring, transformative power. You’ll hear from artists, writers, actors, and other fascinating people, all unpacking how a rebellious sound and ethos became a permanent part of their identity. This isn't a lecture; it's a series of warm, funny, and deeply human conversations hosted by someone who has lived it. The Turned Out A Punk podcast explores how a genre that was declared dead continues to spark unexpected revolutions in individual lives, one personal story at a time.
