Brian is a dear old friend, and I can’t think of anyone better to have launched this podcast. He’s equal parts knowledgeable, opinionated, and open-minded, and I love how his podcast centers around what essentially makes Phish shows so special: shared, subjective experiences.
My favorite phish podcast.
Brian and his guests are knowledgeable and conversant Phish aficionados. Their laid back, first hand accounts point the way to and provide context for many lesser known gems in Phish’s catalog.
Each episode is a fine supplement to pair with actually listening to the discussed concert (found elsewhere). It’s like wine and cheese, each one enhances enjoyment of the other.
Five stars from me.
Although I found this show only a year or so ago, I quickly got hooked. For anyone that wants to hear the story behind the show, or even gain new perspective on classics we all know, this is perfect. With guests that include everyone from “Phish Famous” folks to the ordinary fan, Brian is doing amazing things to record and preserve the oral history of the phenomenon that is Phish.
Brian does a great job sharing his enthusiasm for the band and setting his guests up to shine and share great memories they have of shows and specific songs. The episodes can’t come fast enough. Even the most knowledgeable of Phish fans will learn something from these episodes.

A thoughtful, fan-first show that stitches together personal live-music memories with practical venue insights and broader Phish lore. Episodes frequently center on specific shows or venues, pairing first-hand recollections with historical context, setlists, and anecdotes from a diverse set of guests who are fans, venue owners, designers, and occasional industry voices. The format tends to blend storytelling with community angle, offering listening tips for first-time visitors and deep dives for longtime fans. A standout element is the way conversations weave music analysis with vivid on-site color—from camping culture to merchandising and fan culture—creating a vivid oral history feel that's likely to appeal to devoted Phish fans and venue... more
