#262 - David Rullo / Gen X Pittsburgh: The Beehive and the 90's Scene - a podcast by Chad Medved
from 2023-11-09T10:30
This week, I sit down with award winning journalist David Rullo to talk about his brand new book ‘Gen X Pittsburgh: The Beehive and the 90’s Scene.’ I first came across David’s work a couple weeks ago, after souring the interwebs for Pittsburgh writers that are still local. Turns out his book was being released 3 days later. It felt pretty serendipitous so I reached out and here we are.
-
We have a really great conversation about everything from growing up in the city, to how he became a writer, to how he ended up writing about one of the most important creative places in Pittsburgh’s history. The Beehive wasn’t just a pillar of the community of Southside. It was a safe and inclusive space for everyone and anyone who wanted to cross pollinate on projects and works with other like minded people.

I was lucky enough to spend quite a handful of late nights chain smoking clove cigarettes and drinking drinking coffee in the back room. That place meant a lot to me in my youth and it was really cool to hear how much it meant to David and the rest of the generation before me. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did. Thank yinz for listening.
