Merging the Phish fans

This podcast seems like it wants to merge the thoughts and experiences of the Phish fans across the generations from old die-hard fans to new listeners….. I think it just might succeed…..a must listen

Quality Material

This is one of just a handful of podcasts right now that are bringing quality material to our ears. For a 25 year fan like me, of a band that’s been around 40 years, I want to listen to podcasts that add to the level of nerding out I’m already doing on my own time. This is perfect. I love hearing about shows I wasn’t at. I love hearing Bill’s perspectives along with those of his noob-ier guests. It’s all here. Give this a listen!
