Show Notes
Episode 100… I still can’t believe I’m saying that.
From the very beginning of Waterproof Records to right now—whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just tuning in because of today’s guest—thank you for being part of this journey. This show has always been about the music that shapes us, the albums that change us, and the stories that stay with us forever.
For the first time ever in the Waterproof Records studio, I’m sitting down in person with a guest—and not just any guest.
Aaron “P-Nut” Wills of 311 joins me for Episode 100.
We talk about everything—from the early days of 311 and carving out a completely original sound, to life on the road, staying creative for decades, and what it really means to connect with music on a deeper level. We also get into those “waterproof records”—the albums that changed his DNA—and the impact of growing up in the Midwest, discovering music through MTV, and chasing that feeling we all know when something just hits.It’s a conversation about passion, longevity, creativity, and why music still matters as much as it ever did.This one means a lot to me. Hope you enjoy it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
