What was it like growing up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in East New York during the 1980s?
In this episode of Spins & Stories with Luuk, I share memories of boom boxes, block parties, crack-era Brooklyn, and the strict religious environment that shaped my childhood. From spending Saturdays knocking on strangers' doors instead of watching cartoons to discovering the magic of radio personalities like Howard Stern, Casey Kasem and Scott Muni, this is the story of growing up between two very different worlds.
It's a look back at the neighborhood, the culture, the challenges, and the music that quietly helped me find my own voice.
