The Zach Show

Today on Auxoro, I speak with Matt Saincome and Bill Conway, the founders of The Hard Times, a satire website focused on punk news that has since added a Video Game section called the Hard Drive.According to TheHardTimes.net, The Hard Times started in late 2014 with just a few punk kids, comics, and friends. In this conversation, we cover everything from the inception of The Hard Times to jerking off to what makes good satire. This was absolutely a wide-ranging conversation, and make sure to stay tuned until the end for some scandalous stories about Matt’s food delivery days.DONATE: https://www.auxoro.com/supportNEWSLETTER: https://www.auxoro.com/theauxMERCH: https://www.auxoro.com/storeThe Aux: https://linktr.ee/auxoroThe Hard Times: https://thehardtimes.net/The Hard Times: The First 40 Years: https://thehardtimes.net/book/Show Notes: https://bit.ly/2ExSqr0Intro/Outro Music: Produced by David GrossfeldIntro song: 'The London' Instrumental by J.Cole, Travis Scott, Young ThugMixed and Mastered by dbsound on FiverrEpisode Art: @ManoaRaineAuxoro main site: https://www.auxoro.com/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/auxoro/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/auxoromag/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Auxoromag
