Generation Gap
Generation Gap with Sam and Paul is a music podcast with a bit of a different take: just about twenty years in age separates your hosts, yet they have come together to share their experiences with music. Each episode will highlight two albums; sometimes they each choose a favorite, other times they revisit albums that may need a second…or third chance. The unscripted dialogue is less about musicology and more about the shared experiences and feelings that come from each episode’s featured albums. At the end of each episode, stay tuned for “on repeat” where we share what we can’t stop listening to that week. Generation Gap is a low-key podcast that hopes to make it into your rotation on a weekly basis! Feel free to email us at [email protected]

Generation Gap Episode 9: Guided By Voices
On this episode of Generation Gap Paul and Sam invite their very first guest onto the show!  Sam's friend Jason is featured in this very special episode to talk about the Guided By Voices landmark album, "Bee Thousand"; a record a that Jason picked!  We'd also like to make a correction, Ben Gibbard did play a Guided By Voices song during his at home livestreams, but "Don't Stop Now", a track off of a different Guided By Voices album.  Sam must have heard "I Am a Scientist" elsewhere.
