Rory and Greg interview Raph Copeland, who founded Knifetwister Records using the prize money he won in a pool tournament. Knifetwister is unique in that is works with bands from all across the hardcore, punk, and metal spectrum. In a fun throwback, Knifetwister is also a web-based fanzine with written interviews.

Raph and Knifetwister Records operate just outside of New York City. We hear a little bit about how Raph came to find punk music in the late 1980s and 90s. We discuss Knifetwister's recent release, a compilation benefiting the homeless called "Not In Our City." "Not In Our City" features tacks from bands in NYC including Rebelmatic, and No Call No Show among others.

Raph talks about how punk rock has influenced the trajectory of his life, his career working in the tech industry, his role as a parent, and his interest in lock picking.
