Back On The GrindBringing You Closer Author: Pepe Bandit
A podcast exploring life, music, people & the stories that bring us closer.Episodes are published on the 1st & 15th every month. With intimate interviews, folk punk & my own personal experiences, I explore how we can show up for the story of life. There's no reason to do this alone, we can learn from each other, even if we make some mistakes along the way. Join me as I embark on a journey to figure out how to find meaning & balance, navigate relationships & culture, all while growing with you. We can survive our failures, learn from them & celebrate the victories we also achieve when we put in the work.I have a strong connection to the folk punk & DIY, underground music community in general, so expect to hear about that too. Some other common themes on the show are, creativity, prison, addiction/recovery, spirituality, personal authority & relationships. I hope to become a valuable part of your life through my efforts here at Back On The Grind as I bring you closer to myself & the guests I converse with.Stay Free,Pepe Bandit Help support this project & overall journey & get some member exclusives:patreon.com/BackontheGrind Do you have a question about something you heard in an episode?Do you have a question about something you're dealing with in life?Is there a topic you think should be discussed?Is there something you want to know about me?
