The Helping Friendly Podcast (HFPod) explores the music and fan experience of Phish, through interviews and deep dives on shows and tours. Since 2013, we’ve aimed to bring the fan voice into discussions about Phish, and with the help of our guests, we’re still discovering new angles of appreciation for the band. And when the band is on tour, we provide a review of every show the following day with a fan who was there. As one of our listeners said, “this show has impeccable analysis, stats, commentary and music.” Join us!

Each owner discovers the guitar and writes a single song. Terrance, our narrator, is obsessed with finding this amazing guitar of legend, and wonders if maybe the guitar writes a song using each of them? What strange pattern do the songs form? What power do they hold? And what if Terrance can't find Sugar Maple in time? Presented by Osiris Media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
