They said it couldn’t be done, but In Defense of Ska laughs in the face of such faithlessness. It’s with great pride and honor that the crew unveils this week’s episode — a lengthy discussion and breakdown of the infamous mozzarella stick ska meme that has come to define the genre’s culture across the internet. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Join the IDOS investigation team as they dive into the meme’s history, its impact on ska, and its incredibly polarizing nature. Ultimately, they try to answer the grand, existential question of if the gag has been a net positive or net negative for the genre.
Along the way, this journalistic masterpiece features interviews with folks like comedians Dave Thomason, Matt Lieb, and Jaime Loftus, as well as ‘Ska Defender Numero Uno’ Brent Friedman. Plus, the gang gets a little insight into the meme courtesy of its original creator.
