Bob Stei is the dynamic and passionate host of “The Grunge Garage,” a radio show that celebrates the iconic sounds of 1990s Britpop and Grunge.

Over the years, Bob has honed his skills both on and off the air, working at various radio stations. Currently, he cyber tracks mornings on KKDJ Fresno and evenings at KBSZ Phoenix.
“The Grunge Garage” stands out for its deep dive into the music revolution of the 1990s, featuring legendary artists such as Blur, Oasis, Live, Pearl Jam, STP, Offspring, Bush, and Hole. A unique segment of his show, “Mandatory Morrissey,” dedicates a song each hour to the renowned artist Morrissey. Bob’s show is known for its authenticity and engaging content, appealing to fans who grew up in the era of 90s music.
The show was born out of Bob’s long-standing desire to host a program that resonated with his personal music preferences. He initiated “The Grunge Garage” during the pandemic, leveraging the opportunity presented by a break in his regular radio gigs. The show has since gained significant popularity, being syndicated globally and aired on over 30 affiliates in more than eight countries. Bob’s enthusiasm for 90s music is evident when he recalls the impact of bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam during his college radio days, highlighting a period when it became ‘cool to listen to new music again.’
Produced and syndicated by Rhett Butler, who also hosts the Retro Rock Internet Radio program, “The Grunge Garage” is a free-to-air show available to stations worldwide. The program is not just a nostalgia trip but a celebration of a pivotal era in music history, passionately curated and presented by Bob Stei.
