Description
Damian Abraham has been many things... the singer of a critically acclaimed band, a failed VJ and food network host, one of the minds behind TV's "The Wrestlers", parent of 3... and undeniably, a punk music obsessive.
Each week, he sits down and chats with an interesting person from various walks of life to find out how their world was influenced and changed by the discovery of a novelty genre that supposedly died out in 1978... PUNK!

RIP Anthony Bourdain
4557
Hey, It’s Damian. Anthony Bourdain was someone that championed & celebrated punk & it’s influence. He was also someone that, for some unknown reason, championed the work that I do as well. When I told him about this podcast, he was super excited to get the chance to just talk about punk rock, the music he loved. Here is the conversation we had that day as well as my eulogy for one of my personal heroes. RIP Tony. Thank you for everything |

Oil & Flowers Episode #14
3614
Guest This Week: @ninjaOG
We are back before the end of 2017 with the last show of the year with wha we called somewhat of an emergency episode. In this instalment, we talk about a lot of the new regulations coming down from Health Canada in the last month & how they appear to open the door for craft & small cannabis producers. We also talk about our recent travels, as always.
Also, at the Emerald cup in Northern California earlier this month (Dec 2017) I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the breeders of "Ocean Grown Seeds" (@NinjaOG). It's just one of the few interviews you'll be hearing coming up from the Emerald cup 2017 in 2018. So if you're on vacation, curled up by the fire with your mushrooms drying in your socks over the fireplace. Heat up the torch & enjoy this year end episode of the Oil & Flowers Podcast!
