Episode 214 - Four Friends Talk About Music - with Drew McFadyen & Sam Kulp

Author: Grunge Bible April 28, 2025 Duration: 2:09:19
This week’s installment of the show features a full house, as Chris and Ethan are joined by producer Drew McFadyen - and the trio’s longtime friend Sam Kulp! Sam shares how his passion for music developed from being gifted a few CDs as a child into choosing it as his field of academic study and making music himself. This week’s episode is also a reunion of sorts, as Ethan, Drew, and Sam were in a band together in high school, so listen along as they trade stories about growing up together and finding their groove as a band, as well as other tales of lore. Sometimes, four pals talking music is what it’s all about. Thanks to Sam and Drew for coming on this week! Support the show on Patreon!

Chris Celona and Ethan Shalaway host The Grunge Bible Podcast, a conversation that feels less like a formal history lesson and more like hanging out with friends who happen to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Seattle sound and everything that orbited it. They dig into the stories that defined an era, from the explosive arrival of landmark albums to the quieter, stranger moments behind the lyrics and the artists who wrote them. This isn't just a nostalgic look back; it's a living discussion where interviews, listener questions, and personal insights weave together the legacy of 90s grunge rock. Each episode unpacks the music with a genuine passion, examining why these particular chords and cultural shifts still resonate decades later. Produced by Drew McFadyen, the podcast balances deep dives with a casual, approachable tone, making room for both the monumental figures and the overlooked details. If you've ever found yourself rewinding a track to hear a lyric again or wondering about the scene that birthed it, this is the space for that curiosity. The Grunge Bible serves as a guide through the feedback and fury, one story and one song at a time.
