  • Grate new Dead family podcast with a fresh angle

    Andy has come up with a cool concept to weave a friend or notable person’s history with the Dead to their feelings of family and friends. That’s what it’s all about anyway, music, the people you love and all the memories it creates. The first episode is perfect…an older neighbor, super cool shows he went to and connections to his family and friends who have come and gone. Well done, fellas!
