Ska Boom Interviews - Andrew Sacher Senior Editor at BrooklynVegan on Ska in 2021

Ska Boom - An American Ska & Reggae Podcast

Welcome to Ska Boom Interviews, which is the audio companion to my new book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History now available through DiWulf Publishing and Amazon. In this episode, I’m speaking with Andrew Sacher, who is a senior editor at BrooklynVegan and one of the few music journalists who is regularly writing about and covering ska and ska music. I'm turning the tables on Andrew and interviewing him about his ska origin story and the important role that he is playing in covering American ska music.Andrew and I discuss how ska and ska music has become a bigger part of BV's editorial coverage over the last few years and how engagement on ska content on the BV site has skyrocketed over the few years, which suggests that the genre is growing and bringing in new fans. We also discuss, how in his opinion, Bad Time Records and bands on the label like We Are The Union, Catbite and Kill Lincoln represent the new face of American ska.
