LINK IN COMMENTS: This week on The Austin Young Show I sit down with Jennifer “Zooki” Sturges of Ex Regrets to talk riot grrrl roots, q***r and femme community, and the band’s sound and message.

Big news: Riot Girl Fest 2025 happens October 4 at Growl Records in Arlington.
World exclusive: Zooki debuts her new zine Riot Girl Manifesto, dropping this September.
Plus, I launch a new segment—lyrics read as a Shakespeare monologue, starting with Ex Regrets’ “Burqini Kill.”

Well, the geniuses at Spotify and the other streamers have spoken. Apparently, even if I have full permission from the artists themselves, I am not allowed to play their music on The Austin Young Show. Why? Because they now have AI bots scrubbing every episode and nuking anything that dares to have music in it. No appeal, no conversation, just “computer says no.”

So from here on out, the show will shift into an interview only format. Fine. If the platforms do not want me to share music directly, I will double down on giving artists the space to tell their stories and get their voices out there.

And do not get it twisted. I am not going to stop promoting the best musicians and artists. Ever. If anything, this just adds fuel to the fire.

Thanks to everyone who has been listening and supporting. We will adapt, we will keep going, and we will keep proving that the people making the music are way more important than the platforms trying to silence it.

Why did Bubba ruin the Boxer's Brain? 😂 Sometimes the best things catch everyone off guard. It blew up super fast, and it was so good! Who else loves a surprise?

😎 NEW EPISODE LINK IN BIO:
This week on The Austin Young Show I’m sharing some of my current playlist favorites including new music from Sloth Fist and talking about what’s happening around Deep Ellum. Dezi 5 is bringing an iconic headline performance to the historic Kessler Theater, and Loyal Sally is back from the dead with a headlining show at Deep Ellum Art Co along with a new album in the works. The playlist is packed with punk, ska, indie, and more—perfect for a late-night drive or getting hyped before a show.

NOTE: Catbite show was last night not tonight.
