Ep 299: A Conversation with Jess Margera and Mike Leon of CKY

In episode 299 of the podcast, we’re joined by Jess Margera (drums) and Mike Leon (bass) of the band CKY.

We dig into their recent tour of the UK, Mike joining the band, being the coolest band in the world (our words), and their excellent new track, ‘Can’t Stop Running’.

This was an absolute blast, Mike and Jess fit right in to the Podioslave world. We’re excited for what they have planned for 2026, and you should be too!

We start the episode with an announcement from our friends at Iodine Recordings (@iodinerecordings). They have recently announced another amazing reissue — Quicksand’s “Manic Compression”, and we couldn’t be more stoked about it. Long live Iodine and long live Quicksand! (@qsnyc)
