MRR unveils "You Got A Problem," a call-in show for punks... with problems.

Monday October 13, 2008

Maximumrocknroll magazine has always been a place for cutting-edge music exposure, political news and scene reports. Through MRR radio, the publication has had long-running weekly radio show that transcends the print world.

Now MRR has done it again with their new monthly radio show, “You Got A Problem.”

“You Got A Problem” follows a tried-true-format for talk radio; callers call in with a problem, and the hosts (in this case former MRR magazine coordinator Arwen Curry and Life During Wartime's Erin Yanke) discuss solutions. The difference with “You Got A Problem” is that the show specifically addresses punk problems.

The premiere episode deals with a wide range of “punk-focused” topics, including punk mobility (the ability to move to places and finding an easy entrance into the new scene), sexist attitudes in record stores, punk dating as one grows older and how to avoid spilling a drink while in the pit (Best advice? Bottles are easier to prevent spillage with than cups).

The first episode of this monthly show is here (incidentally, the same place to go to for the music show), and punks who want to submit questions for upcoming episodes can send them to punkproblems@gmail.com.
