Life Was Peachy is the best podcast about the most questionable music of the mid-to-late 90’s and early 2000’s. Each episode is a deep dive into a classic nu metal album with the benefit of 20 years of hindsight to find out just what happened back then and what it amounts to in this brave nu world. Host Andrew Cahak is joined by various guests including comedians, musicians, and other people of interest. Some will have very passionate things to say, some may barely be able to stomach the stuff, and some have never heard nu metal before. Whatever the case, it will be a fun conversation with plenty of background information and just the right amount of irreverence.

    Life Was Peachy Needs Your Help!

    Life Was Peachy Needs Your Help!

    At the end of July 2023, The 4D Podcast Network that hosts Life Was Peachy is dissolving, and as such, I am in search of a new network to host the show.

    Unless I can find a new home for Life Was Peachy by July 31st there will not be any more episodes! I won't lie to you, I'm not super optimistic that I'll find someone to help but miracles do happens so THIS IS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO SEE IF ANYONE LISTENING HAS A HOOK UP OR A CONNECTION OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME SAVE LIFE WAS PEACHY. IF THAT'S YOU, PLEASE REACH OUT, EITHER ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA @LIFEWASPEACHY OR EMAIL ME AT LIFEWASPEACHYPODCAST@GMAIL.COM.

    The alternative is that I can find a hosting solution myself but I can't do that without your help. There are hosting costs that, while not astronomical, I cannot cover because I do not make a dime from the show. I have a Patreon to help support my creative projects including Life Was Peachy. If just 15 new supporters sign up right now, even at the lowest tier of support, that should be enough to cover operating costs. THIS IS ME DIRECTLY ASKING FOR YOUR HELP: If this show means something to you, and so many of you have told me it does, please go to patreon.com/andrewcahak and pledge whatever you can right now! I know things are hard for a lot of people right now, I'm not looking to make money here, but I need your help to keep Life Was Peachy alive. In the words of Fred Durst: Show me what you got!

Are we best friends?!?

I found the place to share my shame. Can’t wait to see what other albums this guys reviews. He loves Will Haven!! I don’t know anyone else but me that Loves Will Haven and i know at least 400 people, probably. if you’re 40 and pretend to cringe when Mudvayne comes on the ol Ipod, but actually you wanna bang your head and scream at the heavens, this is your podcast.

Great Music Podcast

Highly recommend this podcast. Andrew and his guests take us back to bands and albums we either feel nostalgic for, or wish we could forget. Both informative and entertaining, Life Was Peachy is a great music commentary podcast on a genre of music very much of its time.
