The All Punked Up Podcast is now ‘Unplugged’

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting update with our loyal podcast listeners. The All Punked Up Podcast is evolving, and we’re unveiling a brand-new name: Unplugged with Tyler Winters and John Pearman. This decision comes from a place of growth and a desire to broaden our horizons within the ever-expansive world of music.

* We explain our decision in the first few minutes of this week’s episode. Listen above or continue reading.

After much contemplation, we’ve decided to shed the term ‘punk’ from our podcast name. It’s not that we’ve lost our love for punk or pop-punk; rather, we believe we’ve outgrown the label and want the flexibility to explore a broader range of topics within the music industry. We don’t want to feel pigeonholed into only talking about punk, pop-punk, or alternative rock – the new name reflects our commitment to ALL music in our discussions.

One key motivation behind this change is the improved discoverability that the new name offers. The “Unplugged” name already has a familiar historical tie to music, but it also opens up possibilities for reaching a wider audience and engaging with music enthusiasts beyond the punk genre. While the name may be different, rest assured that the essence of our podcast remains unchanged — it just allows us to broaden what we can offer content-wise on this podcast.

Tyler Winters and John Pearman will continue to bring you the same dynamic energy, in-depth interviews, and humorous banter that you’ve come to love. The transition to “Unplugged” allows us to do more, explore new facets of the music world, and share even more exciting content with our dedicated listeners.

We’re grateful for your ongoing support, and we can’t wait to embark on this refreshed journey with you. Tune in to Unplugged with Tyler Winters and John Pearman for the same great show with a name that reflects our strong commitment to our love of music, the scene, and you, the listener.

Remember, it’s the same show, just a new name — a name that helps lead us to create even more entertaining and engaging content.
