Good Morning Bushwick w/ Bud & Roach

Feel like you need a dose of Bushwick to start your day? We’ve got good news: The neighborhood now has its very own morning talk show, "Good Morning Bushwick."  Check out the live stream of the podcast at www.30daystorock.us! 

Bud and Roach, co-hosts and Bushwick natives, tape the show at 10 a.m. out of FirstLive, a coffee shop and live recording and broadcasting studio where our paintings are currently on display! 

Bud and Roach, both in their early 30s, sit at a table behind a pair of microphones. To their left is a giant, black leather couch where we'll post up! 

The duo grew up in Bushwick and have been co-hosting another live program, the Bud and Roach Show, for years. They say that they don’t prepare for each episode, which makes it more like a natural conversation between two friends. The vibe between Bud and Roach is laid back and free-flowing; their familiarity with each other makes for conversation that is simultaneously hilarious and very real.

“Anyone who watches the show knows that our filter is non-functioning at best,” said Bud.

Over the course of the hour, the pair discusses all sorts of subjects: urban gun deaths, their experiences with synthetic marijuana, and the walking dead.

Though they’re definitely having a good time, their commitment to the neighborhood is evident; the goal of "Good Morning Bushwick" is to get people active in local elections. They’ve even brought community leaders onto the show to discuss local issues. 

What's it like to be a guest on a Brooklyn podcast? I have no idea! Let's find out together!
