Ep 243: University Drive
After nearly three years, University Drive returns to The Popko Project Podcast! Ed, Mark, and Ryan(kinda) join the show for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from their gritty new EP “First Stage Separation” to their experiences touring with Cold.
The band shares insights into recording live to tape at Electrical Audio, the evolution of their lineup, and the creative process behind their most collaborative record to date.
We also get into themes of grief, authenticity in modern music production, and the real meaning behind that mysterious EP title. Plus, they react to the recent Low Cut Connie controversy in Luzerne County, talk about the importance of staying true as artists, and share some seriously funny personal stories (including hot dogs, surgeries, skunked beer, & more)
Oh, and a little Popko tradition: Ryan reclaims his title as the podcast’s most frequent guest—with a 19-year-old beer trophy and a bottle of plum wine to prove it.
🎧 An honest, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation you don’t want to miss.
