⁠In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Jason Myles, the writer, musician, and rockstar from the Band called Bitter Lake. Some of you may know Jason from a podcast called "This Is Revolution" (  @THISISREVOLUTIONpodcast  ), a great show that I have recently been on to talk about Controlled Opposition. Jason recently released the short mini-book titled “I Was a Teenage Anarchist,” which talks about the politics of Punk Rock in the 1980s and its relation to the culture of the Western left.

In this conversation, we talk about how the 80s Punk Rock Radicalism compared to the 60s counterculture and how the contemporary left post-Bernie Sanders echoes many of the problems of the left of the 80s and 90s.

In the Backroom exclusive segment on Patreon, Jason and I talk about Dating Apps and Canadian politics and spill some tea about our experiences meeting online influencers and various famous people. Become a Patron at Patreon.com/OneDime if you haven’t already!
