Helping Friendly Podcast

Osiris Media

The Helping Friendly Podcast (HFPod) explores the music and fan experience of Phish, through interviews and deep dives on shows and tours. Since 2013, we’ve aimed to bring the fan voice into discussions about Phish, and with the help of our guests, we’re still discovering new angles of appreciation for the band. And when the band is on tour, we provide a review of every show the following day with a fan who was there. As one of our listeners said, “this show has impeccable analysis, stats, commentary and music.” Join us!

This week we're excited to be joined by Steven Hyden, a music journalist for Grantland and a self-described Phish "noob." We chatted about 10.31.96, the Halloween show that of course included the cover of Remain in Light, by the Talking Heads. Here's an article that Steven wrote about Phish for Grantland, which is a great read. We got a lot of good feedback on the new format last week, and so we're going to continue to just include the guest conversation, and point you to PhishTracks, Phish On Demand App or Live Phish to listen to the epic Halloween album from 10.31.96. Please continue to send us feedback about this experiment and let us know what you think. And please review us on iTunes and send comments and feedback to helpingfriendlypodcast at gmail dot com, and follow us on Twitter.

This week, we're bringing you something a little different. Two longtime listeners, Jason and Mike, join us to talk about an important topic—their experiences with addiction and recovery, and their experiences in the Phish community. We also play some music.

You may have read the GQ article that came out yesterday, which featured Trey and a bunch of other musicians talking about how to thrive creatively without drinking or doing drugs. Also mentioned in this episode are The Phellowship and Trey's drug court speech from 2011.

And here's the link to the Phish.Net article about the new Amy's Farm video. Support Mockingbird if you can!

Thanks for listening, and please give us a review on Apple Podcasts if you haven't yet! See you next time.
