Tom May of The Menzingers records conversations, stories, and sounds with friends and strangers. Curiosity saves us. For demonstration purposes only.
This is the inaugural episode of Future Friday! In this episode I talk to none other than Augusta Koch, one of my closes and oldest friends. Augusta is a performer, songwriter, and artist based in Philadelphia. She is known for fronting Gladie and Cayetana.

Ayyyeee on this brand new episode of the Future Friday podcast, Tom May speaks with "conduit for synchronicities" and waking shaman Roger Harvey, an incredible musician and friend. For fans of Willie Nelson, Lou Reed and anyone ready to hear our views on the punk and country music scenes and a couple two tree decades on the road.
One of the souls vibrating right next to mine across a multitude of earths, DIY magician, dear friend, and god d** scientist MIKE CASEY (Casey Magic) sat down to talk with me while he was out on tour with The Old 97s. Mike has been inspiring and blowing my mind for damn near a decade. Mike has got stories about performing for some of the country and rock and roll greats as well as growing up in south, getting a bit into trouble, and we even dabble a bit into the fascinating and beautiful world of DNA and RNA and their random and not-so-random scripts for our lives. I'll cherish any time I get to have a whiskey and talk some trash with my old friend. This time we recorded it.
Toby Jeg!! One of my mentors, close friends, and debtor of Red Scare Industries Toby Jeg joins me! He was one of the most integral players in the long story of our band, The Menzingers, releasing our E.P. Hold On, Dodge, as well as our full length Chamberlain Waits. While he was based in Chicago he helped us build a second home base. We talk about moving to Grenada, growing up in the PNW, being a first generation American, what it means to run a label in modern times, and his days at Fat Wreck Chords back during the punk surplus. He also gifts me a bunch of smuggled goods! Ahoy!
ACHTUNG! I am looking for an engineer/producer(s)! I am looking to hire a person or two to handle the audio and video editing of the podcast! If you’re interested please email Tom@futurefriday.net
Hello! Guitarist, Guitar Tech, Artist, and old friend and roommate Nick Harris joins me for the first episode after quite a hiatus. Nick tours with The Menzingers and plays in both All Dogs and Slaughter Beach Dog. My boy shreds. We talk pretty much exclusively about drinking, taking a break from drinking, and quitting drinking. Sprinkle in a bit of history between old friends and getting your shit together and we’ve got ourselves an episode.
HI HI HI HI HI!! The beautiful and loving Matt Sanders joins me this time! Drummer extraordinaire of The Sidekicks and dear old friend, Matt and I talk old pranks, sports, growing up punk, and what lays ahead in the future. Menzos have been touring with The Sidekicks for ten freakin years. We’re also label-mates twice over, first on Red Scare and now on Epitaph. I had a wonderful time talking and I hope you enjoy too.

HAPPY FRIDAY. My friend Jose Prieto of Make War joins me to talk life, songwriting, hopes and dreams, and drunk voice-memo melody mania. One of my favorite things about Jose is how passionate he is, and how quickly he can get to an emotionally worth-it level, ya know? Not so much about the weather.
CHECK OUT MAKEWAR’S BRAND NEW SINGLE “Sails” on all them streaming platforms!! They're releasing a new record, "Get it Together”, on Fat Wreck Chords all saints day.
Hallo Hallo! The Great Brendan Kelly joins me for one of my favorite conversations to date! Not just the podcast, but real life pore-staring, hope-my-breath-doesn't-smell, body language bar-posted, soul-connecting conversations. Brendan Kelly is 1/3 of seminal punk band The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon, and Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds. Find his hilarious and profane genius around the internet @badsandwich
This was one of the first podcasts I recorded and it was one of the reasons I started doing it all together.
Get at me Tom@futurefriday.net chyeah
