  • Freaktography (Urban Explorer. Photographer)
    Sep 17 2024
    We had a chance to catch up with Dave from Freaktography. His unique approach to urban exploration is simultaneously aligned with what we do at Delta Bravo while staying true to a stricter definition of URBEX. While Dave recently went on a pilgrimage to Brooklyn and Manhattan; paying tribute to pop-culture and music history, he also seeks out isolated, often abandoned locations. He has found old funeral homes, empty houses, and some rusty, rotting industrial sites. As a result, he has a beautiful archive of high-quality photographs. It was great to hear about his approach to research and exploration; and it was gratifying to compare notes on some of our favorite locations. Freaktography is an asset to this ‘location finding’ community, and it was informative and inspiring to connect.

  • The Return Of Danny Johnson (Smashing California)
    Dec 3 2023
    On this episode of Mission Statements: Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team Podcast, we welcome back prolific explorer and all-around good guy, Danny Johnson. While humility prevents him from accepting the title of M.V.P., DJ has covered more ground on both coasts of the U.S., than most of us in the community. Danny treats us to a recap of the Los Angeles meet-up, from this past summer, the dip in Grasshoff’s pool, and highlights a trip back to Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch’s cabin; a site we visited, but were never able to get past the perimeter fence. As usual, Danny figures out a way. Check it out!

  • Mr. Freeze (w/ Allen Perry)
    Nov 19 2023
    In this episode of Mission Statements, Allen Perry and host Andy Katz have a great time talking with Mr. Freeze, of the Rock Steady Crew. The ‘breakdance scene’ from the 1983 movie ‘Flashdance’ brought us together, 40 years after the filming, and Mr. Freeze recounts his memories of filming the groundbreaking dance sequences. Allen had visited the site several years ago, in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, and Andy followed in his footsteps, earlier this year. This discussion was a rare opportunity to directly connect with pop-culture greatness, and document one of our collaborative missions to find an elusive location. Thanks go to Mr. Freeze (Marc Lemberger) and Allen Perry, for their time and wonderful story-telling. Explore more!

  • Fred Nowosielski (Delta Bravo Boston)
    May 28 2023
    After a little hiatus, we're back. Andrew Katz and Jimmy Ferrari co-host this episode with long overdue guest, Fred Nowosielski. Delta Bravo Boston! An OG member of the Delta Bravo Team, the man responsible for the majority of our logos and design. A family man first, a talented artist and explorer. We go back to how he found out about the team and how he wound up being heavily involved, especially behind the scenes with all of the logos, challenge coins, patches etc. This was a lot of fun, we could've probably gone for another hour easily. I hope you enjoy this one. Stay Gold.

  • Sean Murphy (Photographer)
    Apr 17 2023
    Andrew Katz takes over as the host on Episode 026 of Mission Statements. The guest is the awesome, legendary photographer Sean Murphy. Please watch Andrew's mini-documentary, "In search of Sean Murphy: Debrief", this episode is pretty much a companion piece. Watch that here: https://youtu.be/ji3PdmButmA They chop it up about the Beastie Boys photo shoot, a ton of behind the scenes insight that took place along with it which bleeds into a bunch of stories involving Rage Against the Machine. The amount of stories that Sean has is incredible. He gets into some of the situations that earned him the nickname, the "Angel of Death" of photography. I can go on and on about this episode, but if I do, what would be the point of listening. Enjoy!

  • Jimmy Granara (Delta Bravo Boston)
    Mar 17 2023
    Happy St. Paddy's Day! ☘️ We're headed back to Boston for the second episode in a row with Jimmy Granara as the guest on Episode 024 of Mission Statements. Jimmy has the same passion like a handful of the Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team has when it comes to searching out and hitting spots whenever he can. The episodes with these guys are particularly fun and seem to only feel like we've spoken for ten minutes, but almost two hours have gone by. We talk bucket list spots, locations we've both hit before, the feeling we get when we're in particular places that haven't changed at all over the years and his trips overseas to Italy and London where he hit some of my favorite mashes. An Air Force veteran, firefighter and a member of the team that crushes spots. Enjoy!
