    In this Episode I interviewed Julie White. She was in the band Selective Aggression at the time of the interview but it was so long ago that the band is done :) She was most recently in the Elite but she's not in that band anymore either. The interview is worthwhile though, we talked about her hardcore journey and I was joined by Chris Wyatt (my first podcast guest) and Kevin Zarbo. I think Julie was my youngest guest at the time and Chris is my oldest. I thought it was cool to see how their journeys were different and alike in some ways. Enjoy.
