The Plug w/ Justin Jay is a long-form arts and culture interview podcast: unfiltered conversations with the musicians, comedians, skaters, surfers, photographers, filmmakers, and designers who actually make the things worth talking about. No PR questions, no soundbites — just real conversation about craft, failure, and the work behind the work.
Each episode closes with guests getting the chance to plug something they had no hand in making, but that they believe deserves some more attention — a book, a film, an artist, an event, an idea, or a cause. Think of it as a recommendation list from people with impeccable taste.
Other guests include Foo Fighters, MGMT, Mark Ronson, Pearl Jam, Zosia Mamet, Larry Charles, Roy Wood Jr., Kai Lenny, Nathan Florence, Paul Rodriguez, Tinker Hatfield, and dozens more.
Justin Jay is a New York–based photographer and the author of HI 1K - 10 Years / 1000 Moments On Hawaii’s North Shore. His work has put him inside music, skate, and surf culture for years, and The Plug comes from that same place: conversations between people who make things.
