Zack Mykula - Pup

<p>It wasn&#39;t surprising to find there&#39;s no real canine inspiration behind the long time Toronto based punk band named <strong>Pup</strong> with a 2025 album called <em>Who Will Look After The Dogs</em>. But that doesn&#39;t mean <a href="https://www.puptheband.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Pup</a> drummer <strong>Zack Mykula</strong> doesn&#39;t have some interesting personal dog experiences of his own. Zack joins the show to introduce us to his tripod dog <strong>Jack, </strong>who&#39;s a &quot;potcake&quot; or mixed breed dog from the Dominican Republic. We cover a number of topics including Jack&#39;s adoption story, how he brought out a nurturing side of Zack and one interpretation of what the band&#39;s name represents in a thoughtful and enlightening conversation. </p><p><br></p><p>Pup will be playing an intimate Riot Fest Late Night gig at <a href="https://metrochicago.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Metro</a> on September 18th and <a href="https://riotfest.org/?_gl=1%2At2v7lw%2A_gcl_au%2ANjA3ODM0MTUwLjE3ODg3MjQxNDIuMTM2NzAzNzgyNi4xNzg4NzI0MTQyLjE3ODg3MjQxNDEuNTMyMjI5NTQuMTc4ODcyNDE0Mi4xNzg4NzI0MTQx%2A_ga%2AMTc1MjEyNTI5NC4xNzg4NzI0MTQy%2A_ga_PVQGYREDQK%2AczE3ODg3MjQxNDEkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODg3MjQ0MDYkajU5JGwwJGgxMzU1MDcxMTY2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Riot Fest</a> on September 19th in Douglass Park, Chicago.
