My name is Dana B. I bailed on my corporate job to travel & tour with bands. I tour manage the Boston based band, Piebald. I’ve also worked as a roadie for bands such as: The Story So Far, The Front Bottoms, Bayside, Thrice, and Hot Rod Circuit.
On the podcast I interview my favorite musicians, and other rad people.

Customer Reviews
Two Week Notice Podcast needs to be TOP OF THE CHARTS!
Dana B's Two Week Notice Podcast offers not just conversations with phenomenal musicians, but a journey into the depths of life itself. With each episode, listeners are treated to more than just music and behind-the-scenes insights; they receive invaluable life lessons and advice. Whenever a new episode drops, I immediately pause whatever podcast I am currently listening to dive in to the enriching discussions that await, knowing that each one promises an unforgettable experience.
THE Punk Podcast
Where do I begin?! I first was introduced to Dana through The Front Bottoms while on tour - after being completely delighted by his kindness, tenacity, and passion for what he does, I followed him on social media and found his podcast! I listened to his episode with Brian Sella and was completely hooked from the jump.
Dana’s perspective on music and the scene is that of someone who never lost their passion or love for these bands. The same passion and love that draws in fans and listeners like you and I. This makes his podcast feel extra personable - not only is Dana bringing some great energy, he’s asking questions every fan - musician or not - wants to ask. The podcast feels intimate in a way that other podcasts often lack - when you listen, you feel as though you’re in the room with them, talking with them, bonding over music and drinks and good times.
Not only am I obsessed with this podcast, it makes me feel good listening knowing that it supports such a kind, funny, kickass individual such as Dana.
I recommend this podcast to anyone interested in music, the punk scene, or the incredible people who allow all of it to come together. 10/10!
Can’t get enough!
While traveling I realized I’d had this podcast downloaded for awhile so decided to finally check it out… now I CANNOT STOP LISTENING! I wish I would have checked it out sooner.
It’s exciting learning about members of my very favorite bands and diving into their inspiration, early stages of the band, and hearing about tour experiences. Dana asks all the right questions!
