What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Had to express how grateful I am to Chris, Ethan and Drew for the Grunge Bible podcast. I stumbled upon it about a month ago amd I’ve already made my way through episode 40. Chris and Ethan’s discussions are engaging and I love the energy and camaraderie they bring to each episode. The conversations and interviews evoke laughter and reflection, transporting me back to the best years - the 90s-while celebrating the music that continues to resonate with me today. Thank you for your dedication and passion—please keep up the fantastic work!

As someone who was a teenager in the early 90s when grunge make its impact, it puts a smile on my face knowing there are people who weren't around at that time who enjoy and appreciate that genre and era. The hosts musical knowlege goes beyond grunge as well. Great banter between the hosts with some occasional life philosphy thrown in as well. Keep up the great work!

I don’t know how I missed this pod the last few years, but I am loving it. It warms my heart to hear how much grunge is still loved. This podcast is an easy and fun listen at the gym, while driving or even when I’m doing my chicken coop cleans! 🖤
