Chad Johnson and Ryan Luther, both integral to the resurrection of Furnace Fest, are featured guests on Jeremy Alan Gould's podcast *The Rumors Are True*. **Chad Johnson**, the festival's founder, started Furnace Fest in 2000 as a way to bring together underground punk, hardcore, and metal bands, creating a space for the subculture to thrive. After a hiatus of nearly two decades, Chad was instrumental in the revival of Furnace Fest in 2021, preserving its legacy as a grassroots, fan-focused festival. His background as an A&R rep for Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records during the label's peak made him a key figure in shaping the Christian alternative music scene. **Ryan Luther** joined Chad in reviving Furnace Fest and has been a vital part of its organization, handling logistics, planning, and overall execution of the festival's return. Together, they’ve transformed Furnace Fest into not only a reunion of bands but also a revival of the community spirit that made it legendary. On *The Rumors Are True*, they delve into the festival’s history, the decision to bring it back, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into organizing a major festival while staying true to its DIY roots. They also reflect on the importance of the event to fans and bands alike, many of whom view Furnace Fest as a pilgrimage and a moment of reconnection.
