Description

In this episode, Liam sits down with legendary photographer and journalist Maggie St. Thomas.


With a camera in hand, Maggie has spent decades capturing raw, unfiltered moments from music’s most chaotic corners — from the grime of LA’s underground punk scene to the haze-filled green rooms of hip hop royalty.


We talk about her new book Subject: Punk, her childhood surrounded by music and mayhem, photographing the Ramones, Sublime, and yes — smuggling weed in a trench coat to photograph Snoop Dogg for High Times.


Maggie also opens up about her time working in a crematorium, the emotional weight of documenting vulnerable artists, and why punk isn’t just a sound — it’s a way of being.
