We share our experiences with it and dive into how it manifests and some evolutionary reasons behind our responses to it.

We are here twice every month and hopefully we are able to help you feel a little less lonely & more connected.

Please take the poll in the Spotify show notes whether you think Johnny Hobo was good or bad overall....we wanna know what you think.
Johnny Hobo & The Freight Trains can be viewed as a single project or part of a larger whole when it comes to the music of Pat The Bunny. Either way it has been loved by some and divisive for others since it was first released and presently. We dive into some of the history associated with Johnny Hobo and try to understand what it all means. After that we discuss some funny, absurd, confusing and difficult stories of life inside prison.
HIGHLIGHTS:

While Folkpunk Dad is away on tour & unable to be in the studio, we're airing an older interview Pepe gave 1 week before he went to prison in 2019. Pepe talks about originally facing 10 to life, the work he did to keep his relationship(s) intact, preparing for release before he was even sentenced, being in relationship while one partner is incarcerated, having a morning routine & working out, & how it's usually not easy to do the work that life asks of you but, it's worth it. This is an inspirational interview that can help you see there is a way through even the toughest of times.
