No Dogs in Space

To understand the devotion that punk rock inspires in its fans, look no further than  No Dogs in Space.  Hosts Marcus Parks and Carolina Hidalgo offer you a sonic tome of music history to lose yourself in. Starting off with the Stooges, the series powers through a decade featuring the Misfits, Ramones, Joy Division, and other pivotal artists. The lessons about band dynamics and history are thorough, the music is an adrenaline rush, and the effect is something akin to the greatest class you ever took in college. If you’re not initiated into punk, this is the perfect space to start listening. Hidalgo and Parks’s wisecracks and DJing will entertain you throughout; they’re delightfully goofy, and they’ve done their homework.  No Dogs in Space  connects bands into one gigantic family tree and plays their music loudly. When you’ve finished with the series, you’ll be an adopted member of the scene.
