Podchaser Podchaser What does punk sound like when the music carries a struggle over language, identity, and freedom?
Filmmaker Andrew Nethery joins Jay to discuss Bury Us! A Punk Rock Uprising, his documentary about the Basque punk scene. He describes the history behind the music, the legacy of repression under Franco, and the people who turned frustration into something loud enough to be heard.
The conversation moves from censorship and political division to the risks artists take when they speak publicly. There is room for absurdity, too: Andrew recounts carrying a giant Slim Jim through New York, and he and Jay compare notes on comedy, creative work, and being misunderstood.
