“Incredibly well done. So nice to pull back the curtain — just a bit. Enough for the mystery to remain.”

“Of course the G.O.G.D. is the best podcast out there. This season has been awesome with the Pigpen shows and I loved the T.C. show as well. Hearing all the inside about ‘Live Dead’, the album I’ve listened to the most in my life, was incredible. Keep it up Rich and Jesse.”

“GOGDP is thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining and educational! Simply no band (or brand!) that nurtures its legacy like the Grateful Dead. Every season is researched and curated and well captures the rich history and impact of the Dead. Keep mining!”

“Makes that 5-hour documentary seem superficial. Whenever there’s a new one I prioritize it, savor it, just freaking love it. Have learned so much about a band I thought I knew way too much about already. Love the deep digressions and, well, just about everything. Jesse deserves an ethnomusicology...”Read full review »

Hats off for making this work. It cannot be easy.
Love the end of season one where you had Jerry’s folk route. And the focus on Donna Jean was great. Also...”Read full review »

Between the ReListen app or Archive.org, the the hundreds of “official (though in some cases expensive) live releases, and now this podcast, it’s a great time to be a Deadhead because you can get...”Read full review »

“My first Dead show Wake of the flood 1973 Philadelphia 50 years and it’s all clear how prophetic Relative and poignant the DEAD were then and just as much Now!

“90 to 95% of the podcasts are 5+ with fascinating details about the dead and their history and culture. However, there are some podcasts which seem fairly focused on just promoting an album release, and these episodes are challenging to listen to even as someone who is fascinated with this group....”Read full review »
