Journalist, author and filmmaker Crash Barry podcasts from the foothills of western Maine. Season One features Devils and Dirtbags, his on-going true crime investigation of the criminal priests and bishops of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts. Season Two, aka Tough Island, is his comparatively light-hearted but still gritty tales of living and working on a remote Maine island when he was a much younger man. Season Three includes in-depth looks at Disinfomaniacs, along with interviews, conversations and independent journalism focused on the intersection of culture and politics.

Coastie is the prequel to Crash Barry's Tough Island.
During Coastie, you’ll sail from the Gulf of Maine to the Gulf of Mexico aboard a 210 foot Coast Guard cutter, during the late 1980s drug war and war on Haitian refugees and witness the misadventures and mistakes of Seaman Barry, a 20-year-old stoner hippie-punk-and-wannabe poet deckhand. There’s lots of bad in these tales. Bad sex. Bad drugs. And bad men. Because Coastie is an in-depth look at hazing, toxic masculinity and group think.
In Coastie, there are many painful and often not-safe-for-work-or children’s ears moments, which is one of the reasons that except for Episode 1, Coastie will be exclusively published twice a month exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Visit crashbarry.com or https://www.patreon.com/crash_barry for more details on how to support Crash's work and gain access to lots and lots of perks and special content.
While Coastie is for subscribers-only, the latest episodes of Devils and Dirtbags and the Disinfomaniacs show with Nathan Bernard and Andy O’Brien, plus Open Ears Maine and a new monthly podcast about trying to live closer to nature will all remain FREE via the Crash Program pod-channel.
Coastie, though, like a rare bottle of small batch bourbon, will remain on the top shelf, out of reach of kids and the highly sensitive.
