Country songwriter Brad Warren launched his The Good Grief Good God Show podcast on Tuesday (Nov. 1). The debut episode featured Porter’s Call Founder and Executive Director Al Andrews and singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele.

Over the course of his 20-year music career, Warren has had much success alongside his brother, Brett, as the Warren Brothers duo. The Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated musicians have written over 30 songs for Tim McGraw, as well as tracks for Taylor Swift, Steven Tyler, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blake Shelton, and Dierks Bentley.

In 2020, Warren and his family’s world was turned upside down when he lost his first born son, Sage, to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Talking with his peers and those who have also experienced loss helped Warren to heal, leading him to create The Good Grief Good God Show, during which he discusses the topic of grief while offering personal stories of his journey to living with loss. The podcast aims to connect with those going through the long lasting healing process.

“I was approached by podcast producer Matt Peveto in Austin this year about doing this sort of podcast. Despite my initial hesitation, I started thinking of how much I would have loved hearing something like this throughout my grief journey,” shares Warren. “One morning I was discussing the podcast idea with my wife and she told me ‘You are doing this. You know God wants you to do this.’ And that was that. When my wife, Michelle, and God agree on something I don’t argue. I just do it.”

The Good Grief Good God Show will air monthly on every first and third Tuesday across all major audio platforms and on YouTube. This season will feature songwriters Aimee Mayo, Casey Bethard and JT Harding, as well as sports agent Tim O’Neil, three-time Grammy winner Ashley Cleveland, and Texas singer-songwriter Cory Morrow with more to be announced.
