    04/06/2026 | 45 mins.
    Until The Sun Explodes! Sublime's second-generation vocalist, California dreamer and SVN/BVRNT Records founder, Jakob Nowell, is our guest on Episode 393 of Sappenin' Podcast! The son of the iconic, Bradley Nowell, reflects on his involvement in the bands return, honouring his father’s legacy and trying to put his own stamp on the music industry.
