PUNK BRATS PODCAST

"We believe it’s time for media outlets to stop labeling brats by age. Military brats come in all stages of life, from childhood to senior adulthood—and we’re proud of that identity, no matter our age. We didn't serve. We got served!" - Punk Brats

Punk Brats is a dynamic monthly podcast hosted by the Quintero Sisters, Rose and Lisa, dedicated to connecting military brats from around the world. We explore the unique experiences and challenges of brat life—whether you’re a stateside brat, stationed overseas, or have lived both worlds. We want to hear YOUR story!

Are you currently an active brat? Have your past experiences shaped who you are today? Share your voice with us—your call will be recorded!

Not a brat but have a question or comment? No problem! Leave us a message on our 24/7 voice line at 512-254-5989. You can share up to a two-minute message, and we’d love to hear from you.

Reach out via email at Info@PunkBrats.com. Follow us on YouTube (Punk Brats), Facebook (Punk Brats), Instagram (PunkBratsUSA), and TikTok (Punk.Brats), for updates and community connections. Whether you’re a Brat or not, join the conversation and become a part of the Punk Brats family!
