Preview of The Best Summer Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of The Brouhaha I will preview (not to be confused with spoiling or recapping) Tamra Davis' new documentary, The Best Summer, which follows the Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, Rancid, Beck, Bikini Kill, and The Amps around Australia during the 1995-96 Summersault Tour.

Erin Potts (Freedom Needs a Soundtrack) Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

On the latest episode of The Brouhaha, we get to chat with Erin Potts, Co-Founder of the Milarepa Fund, Co-Organizer of the Tibetan Freedom Concert, and the featured voice in our new favorite podcast, Freedom Needs a Soundtrack.

Erin talks about the legacy of the concert series, the tireless work involved, Adam Yauch taking a page out of the Fugazi playbook, and what it felt like when U2 joined the bill in 1997—fulfilling a wishful statement Erin made to her mother as a teenager.

With Freedom Needs a Soundtrack capping off its sixth and final episode last week, think of this as the unofficial reunion show! #FreeTibet
