grateful dead spirit into a podcast
My favourite podcast by far
As a new deadhead this podcast is a great deep dive into the history and spirit of the Grateful Dead. I have read many books on the Dead already but it is great to hear the voices of the people who were there. It is really informative, entertaining and the love and joy the producers have for the Grateful Dead comes through in every episode. I always finish an episode feeling good. I’m thankful for all the people whose hard work goes into each episode.
Unprecedented
This podcast is meticulously researched and wonderfully listenable. Bravo!
