So Many Roads: A Grateful Dead Podcast

So Many Roads Podcast is a show inspired by the Grateful Dead and the endless ways their music connects us. As a longtime fan, I’ve realized there’s still so much to learn—not just about the band, but about the culture, history, and personal stories that surround it. Each episode, I’ll sit down with guests to explore their journeys, uncover new perspectives, and take a deep dive into topics I have yet to investigate. So whether you"re a longtime Deadhead or are just starting to explore, join me as I

2025/06/04

Send us a text In this debut episode, I sit down with my longtime friend—and our show’s producer—Dave, to talk about how he got on the bus, why Jerry Garcia’s guitar tone still captivates him, and what makes the Grateful Dead more than just a band.
