What even is a bogan? In this episode, we don’t just ask the question — we live through the answers. 🎧
Join us in the gritty, hilarious, and honest world of New Zealand’s heavy metal and bogan culture. Featuring Dave, Sam, Jolene, and Hamish, this isn’t about stereotypes — it’s about real people navigating music, labels, mental health, tattoos, and the power of self-expression.
Hamish thought he was just "bad at life" — turns out, he had ADHD. Jolene was told no one hires women in her industry — she made it anyway. Sam took a one-way ticket to a metal tour with no plan. Dave breaks down identity in a way your philosophy teacher never could.
🔥 From burnouts to breakdowns, from headbanging to heartbreak, these stories crank the volume on what it means to be 100% yourself.
🎧 Listen now to learn, laugh, and maybe even scream (just a little bit).
