In this episode of Scene Support, I sit down with Jonathan Kent—DIY lifer, record label runner, and host of This Is Just a Phase Podcast. We dive into everything from the challenges of running an indie label to the importance of inclusivity in punk spaces. Along the way, we swap stories about Green Day bringing Pansy Division on tour, the politics of representation in music, and what it really means to “sell out.”

Jonathan also opens up about his journey with This Is Just a Record Label, his podcast’s evolution from Spotify to YouTube, and how persistence, collaboration, and community keep the underground alive. Whether you’re in a band, running a label, or just love the DIY spirit, this one’s for you
