Customer Reviews
So so good
I’m not sure how this could be any better. Well Don!
Perfect
Incredibly well done. So nice to pull back the curtain — just a bit. Enough for the mystery to remain.
Great Episode
Of course the G.O.G.D. is the best podcast out there. This season has been awesome with the Pigpen shows and I loved the T.C. show as well. Hearing all the inside about ‘Live Dead’, the album I’ve listened to the most in my life, was incredible. Keep it up Rich and Jesse.
