Ska Boom - An American Ska & Reggae Podcast is hosted by Marc Wasserman, author of the book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History which was published in 2021 by DiWulf Publishing. Wasserman helped start Bigger Thomas -- the first ska band from New Jersey -- in 1988 and had a front row seat to watch the growth of American ska. Ska Boom is the audio companion to the book, which tells the origin stories of 18 American ska and reggae bands and one national tour from the early 80s through the mid 90s that helped to give birth to and define a uniquely American version of ska and reggae. The podcast explores the impact of ska and reggae on popular music and features interviews with key ska and reggae musicians, audio documentaries about the history of ska and reggae and special episodes based on news and developments in the world of ska.
