In this episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with legendary frontman Richard Jobson of The Skids to dive into a life shaped by punk, poetry, and powerful melodies.
Richard reflects on the resurgence of The Skids after Green Day’s explosive cover of one of their classic hits, and shares what it's like to be back in the spotlight decades later. We chat about touring Australia, and how going on the road at just 16 years old, with Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers as his “teacher,” shaped his worldview and future career.
Plus, Richard creates a deeply personal mixtape of six songs that influenced his musical journey — from punk anthems to cinematic soundscapes.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering The Skids for the first time, this episode is packed with music history, behind-the-scenes stories, and unforgettable moments.
