    Prologue—Love & Understanding in Las Vegas

    Las Vegas. Summer 2019. Our host Mike Finoia is stationed in the steamy Las Vegas heat doing a stand up residency at the Comedy Cellar. Deep in a mental block on how to start this project, a convention of obsessed fans is dropped at his feet (actually the RIO check in desk) and a light goes on in the attic. Fanatics are everywhere, and regardless of the subject, deep down we are all the same.  Still Chasing is produced by Osiris Media. Executive Producers are Mike Finoia and Michael Shields.

    Hosts Mike Finoia & Mike Shields set their sights back in time, reminiscing on their introduction to Phish.

Includes interviews with Tom Marshall, David Gans, Rebecca Adams and Andy Bernstein.  Still Chasing is produced by Osiris Media. Executive Producers are Mike Finoia and Michael Shields.

    Here’s where the rubber hits the road. The guys discuss setting out on tour, physically following their favorite band with their buddies that signed on for a lifetime of weirdness. We take a tour through the pop up phenomenon of Shakedown Street and how the parking lot went from intimidating to industrious.  From sitting in traffic to sleeping at rest stops to getting arrested, the obsession led to moments that will never be forgotten, and the guys share them here.  Includes an interview with Scott Marks.

    Chapter 6 — Technology: Living In This Tube

    Sometimes, there are benefits to not going to Phish concerts...as long as you have a comfy couch and solid wifi! Our hosts look at the way technology has changed the way fans interact, attend, and communicate. Pivotal members of the online community have provided news outlets, message boards, videos, photos, music archives, and games to feed the obsession when at work, at home, or on the toilet.
