***Please take the poll in the Spotify show notes & tell us what Johnny Hobo music we should repress on vinyl***

Pepe answers questions you all sent in, largely about Pat The Bunny during the Johnny Hobo days while also reflecting on his own journey through the folk punk scene. He shares personal stories of struggle, inspiration, & the DIY ethos that defined the era. Pepe emphasizes the importance of following one's dreams, even in the face of adversity, & the organic development of the folk punk scene without the constraints of commercial expectations. He discusses lost & unreleased music & the potential for future represses. He touches on the importance of community and personal growth, while also addressing the disbanding of Johnny Hobo and the choices that led to it & much more. Enjoy!
