Brian Cullman | The Marinade Episode 213

Brian Cullman is an acclaimed musician and journalist from New York whose memoir How to Prepare For The Past: Travels in Music and Time is one of my favorite reads of the year. The book tells tales of encouters with big names like Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, Big Joe Turner, Bo Diddley, George Martin, and more. But, the stories in these pages are deeply relatable and human. After just a few minutes talking to Brian and I realized why.

The Marinade is a free-flowing conversation about the creative process with creative people. Each episode we welcome musicians, actors, comedians, authors, visual artists, filmmakers- anyone who creates art to talk about how and why we make stuff.
