Today Aaron is interviewing <a href='https://screamtherapyhq.com/podcast/episode-70-5-recap'>Jason Schreurs </a>Author of Scream Therapy. Jason is "..a music and health writer, podcast host, and self-proclaimed punk weirdo. I’m happiest when I scream into dented microphones and play my guitar like it’s a percussion instrument. Who’s my desert island band, you ask? Fugazi." Jason talks about the misconceptions around Punk and other "controversial" genres of music, and how it actually helped him to become a better person.
