Letters To Bands
Hi I'm Julian Rose! Welcome to Letters to Bands! A podcast designed to share stories through the lens of a fan! Each guest will share a personal letter or story to a musician of their choice and as we deep dive into the artist we will end the episode knowing more about the fan's life.
Letters To Bands is based on a book I wrote about my life in the form of a compilation of letters to bands and artists that I felt shaped me into who I am! Along the writing journey I found myself obsessing over fan culture and the need to share our stories.
The podcast was in production for three seasons and is now being reinvented to fulfill a greater vision. I took the seasons down, as I felt they weren't representing my full vision and talents as I would have liked. As I prepare for the launch of the reinvention of Letters To Bands, I decided to publish the episodes that attracted the most listens.
I’m so happy to share these ultimate music geek sessions of fan and musician conversations and am ecstatic to reveal my newest project, The New Values Podcast.

The Strokes With Trey
I got lucky with my first two guests on the podcast. Both requested to speak about The Strokes. In this special follow up episode I chat with NYC fan and host of the Babes Reads Books podcast, Trey. She is also my sister in life and so this episode not only gave some important insight to another fan's life - it also presented some nostalgic stories of my time living in NYC. As stated in the episodes, I previously had enjoyed The Strokes, but my time as a fan came after these episodes were recorded and published. More specifically The Strokes play a huge part of my personal background for the last couple of decades but became prominent in my life in 2024. Huge thanks to Trey and Zach for launching a proper investigation into the band's discography.
