  • 4th Rate Knock-Off Intro Music

    First time checking this out. Was pretty distracted by the intro music. Why give an un-indoctrinated casual listener who stumbles by even the slightest chance to mistakenly assume that the daytime slot at wook-fest “groovey tunes mannn” intro music is perhaps Trey playing himself? Bummed that this passed as all good…

    Great show! I’m leaning more 2/22 than 2/28. But can’t argue with your list. Thanks for the content

  • Must Listen Podcast for Phish Fans!!!

    I love this so much. Last episode with the host from Beyond the Pond is great! I love learning about new music and inspires people musically! Their Spotify link to the playlist seems broken though... could that be looked at again? Thank you!

  • Great but a nitpick

    I do LOVE the show and don’t want to sound ungrateful but agree with another reviewer about “listener whiplash”. Feed is a bit all over the place and don’t love the current strategy of re-releasing 3 old UTS episodes per week. Feels a little quantity > quality just to stuff the feed. Like, how are there 50 old eps released but there wasn’t one or two about the sphere run or about the Evolve release? I know I can find that elsewhere but enjoy the Tom, Benjy, etc. perspective. 🙏🏻
