  • A Phish Fan’s Dream Podcast

    What a pleasure it is to be able to listen to this podcast at any hour of the day. Geeking out to all sorts of topics and doing the deep dives into the band that is my heart and soul, RJ, Brian and Megan are a source of tremendous Phish joy through the podcast waves. When you want that Phish convo at your fingertips, look no further than HFPodcast and Osiris. Keep surrendering to the flow because everything’s right.

  • Because RJ told us to do it!

    Kidding of course on the title, but this show’s content and hosts are both excellent. The dynamic between the hosts is great and they not only bring good insight, they do their homework. Really enjoy the drafts, tour reviews , and now the Mt Rushmore series. Keep it going and let’s see Meg pile up more wins!

  • Love these Rushmore episodes

    Just started listening to these and love them. To hear reviews of songs I’ve listened to for 30 years brings me back. And to also finding out some songs I may have not listened to yet but need to. Love it. Only negative thing for me is the amount Megan drops the FBomb. Not a fan.
