The Sounds of Buttamilk - Episode Two - Co-hosted by Stephanie Renee and Marvin (Qool DJ Marv) Coleman
Welcome to The Story of Buttamilk Podcast

2024 marks the 30th Anniversary of Buttamilk, the influential collective that made a lasting impact on its Philadelphia audiences and people all over the world. If you’ve ever heard of Jill Scott, and have ever read her liner notes for her first album Words and Sounds Volume One, she writes, “Buttamilk, it all started with you.” (Excited to share that she answered the question asked about ‘what started with Buttamilk?’)

We found out that answer and so much more from many voices. There are 5 episodes of reminiscing that combine recordings of live performances with interviews and 3 bonus episodes that feature raw audio from live performances recorded from 1995-1997.
