STEVE POIKONEN & JESSE JETT! IT’S AN AM WAKEUP/AMERICAN TRADITION SUPERGROUP CROSSOVER! @AMWakeup

Steve Poikonen is the founder of AM Wakeup and Slow News Day, member of Union of the Unwanted and the Independent Media Alliance, joins the show to talk about Third Eye Carnival, happening outside Nashville (Portland, TN) on April 4, 5 & 6, 2025.

He’s also bringing his banjo and we’re hopefully going to listen to him play a tune or two, talk smack about all the stuff happening in the world & why he created Third Eye Carnival.
