Don't worry about that metalhead in the parking lot, Checkered Past is talking about the legendary Chicago Ska Punk band Slapstick!

Remember as a child when certain TV shows would come on and you'd hear some upbeats and it wasn't until you were an adult that you realized that it was Ska? Checkered Past Remembers! Rob and Engineer Joey play a series of television clips in which Ska was mentioned, played or dunked on as a joke... mostly the latter! It's a discussion on Ska's place on popular culture as well as the moments when the reference was in jest, in love or even mean-spirited. It's basically a Checkered Past Clip Show!

Don't watch your 10... watch your back as Checkered Past digs in on highly influential Canadian Ska band, The Kingpins! In this special episode, Engineer Joey takes over hosting duties with Celine as they welcome returning guest, The Ghost of Ska Past to do some much needed Ska history! First they catch up the listener on Ska Past's Checkered Past, how he came to pass away and how he became the beleaguered spirit he is today. Then, the trio dig on the Kingpins from their spy-ska debut to their traditional sophomore album to their way-ahead-of-its-time New Wave-Ska third album. Then, Rob returns to do a game of Guess That Horn and answer some birthday Question the Answers! It's not your average CP/SC!
