Deaf Punks

May 8, 2023

Punk isn't dead - and neither is San Francisco. This episode dives deep into one of the city's most extraordinary and underreported music scenes: the deaf punk community that thrived in SF and left an indelible mark on the city's counterculture. Inspired by the Vice documentary that brought this scene to wider attention, host Monica Rodriguez explores how deaf punks experienced, performed, and transformed music on their own terms. A love letter to the intersection of disability, identity, and the relentless San Francisco spirit.
