Put simply, Saporta made a huge mark in the 2000s. After getting his start in the New Brunswick pop-punk outfit Midtown, he went on to form Cobra Starship. That band covered the decade in a neon glow, putting out four studio albums before calling it quits in 2015. In the episode, the duo discuss Saporta’s favorite era of his decades-long career, making it as an immigrant from Uruguay, and helping teenagers understand the world through music.
