I just turned my barber at Tiger Barbers in CoMO onto The Professor. Made me reminisce about my early days as a new Prof at Mizzou and the first time I caught John’s Friday evening show on “the mighty fine 89”. I looked forward to my Fridays, and my graduate students were quickly baptized in...Read full review »

Nice to have another source for shows. Excellent podcast

Thanks Professor for all the incredible music you’ve shared. Like a warm blanket thats on fire with the electricity pinging off the moon and stars back to our radiating ear drums playing a hypnotic chorus of eternity. The Dead Pod is alive in Japan! ありがとございます🙏!

Always good for digging up some of obscure jams as well as important milestones and putting them into the right context, while keeping the music front and center.

It is nice, as I move through my 60’s, that some of us still get great pleasure from this fine music
Scott gill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/23
The 60’s tapes are so potent. I have high praise for every show that steps out of the well-trodden 70’s; but, the 60’s shows give me the biggest smile…all full of rainbows and such.

Well curated selection of full GD shows. Always excellent.

It’s so nice every Friday a set is waiting for me. I drive all day and look forward to this every Friday. Have saved quite a few for the mid week in between. Keep it up prof and thank you for what you do

The Professor does a great job of picking out a set each week! I always enjoy his intro and recap to help share context! Look forward to every episode each Friday!

Long live the dead!

Jonnyrim5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/22
Thank you to The Professor for these end of the week curated Dead sets. Always a hoot.
1 Live Jew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/21
Love how the format is usually set one the first week and set two the next. Dig the Professor’s highlights recap at the beginning of each episode. Also appreciate the info he shares on the venue and date for context. Born in ’89 I wasn’t lucky enough to see Jerry, so I’m grateful to get to...Read full review »

Despite the seemingly endless catalogue of live tapes to the Dead’s name, I sometimes find it difficult to explore. I’ll find myself going to the same specific Rubin and Cherise (4-7-91) for example. This prevents that. I look forward to each new installment and have a blast with it each time....Read full review »

All killer, no filler!

Have listened to The Professor ever since I was an undergrad at Mizzou in the mid 90s. Miss the days of hearing him on The Mighty Fine 89, KOPN, Columbia, Missouri. So happy to be able to share him with my kids now. Thanks Prof!
DocBones1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/21
I look forward to this every week! I love listening to a whole set, uninterrupted. This is especially great for those of us who have gotten on the bus more recently.
HelloCutie26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/21
Love this ❤️
e-horn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/21
Love the no frills host. Gives a brief overview of the set and any little trivia items of interest and then right to the music. Also, getting to hear the style changes on certain songs over time is great with this set up where the concerts are not in order by year.
Geek bearing gifts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/21
The Professor knows what he’s talking about.
Twerk4thepeople via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/21
The Prof. knows his shows! Once in a while there is a dud, but 9 out of 10 times the audio showcases the Dead at their supreme finest!! Thank you Professor
Joebobhst via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/21
Great host, great music selection. There are many audience recordings that I haven’t heard in the official releases.
Zanguine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/21
I love the Professor and his weekly picks. I look forward to new Podcasts every week. And it’s fun to spin the dial like wheel of fortune and see where it stops! Never disappoints!
JohnnyIron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/21
Great choices deep well of GD live. Thx

The Professor is the clearly man and a master show curator. So many good selections 💯
jh4310 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/20
Never written a review before, but after listening to this for - can it be over ten years? - it’s about time I give credit where credit’s it due. The Professor is reliable and consistent and never lets you down! Nothing elaborate, just straight from one head to another. Thanks for the years of...Read full review »

I haven’t missed a Friday with the Professor for over a dozen years and there’s no finer way to kick off the weekend. 💀⚡️🥀
pat bateman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/20
I’d been listening to only 1 podcast for years. And this was the one! You have always picked the best stuff! Thanks Professor! Many thanks!!! My sentiments exactly so I’ll leave them live on brother
JohnnyHasbeen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
This is the best podcast.
AbedisBatman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/20
I came here for the music, but the introductions are just as interesting. Thank you for putting in all the work to make my Friday’s so much better.
Steffen Enni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/20
The Professor always comes through with shows you probably haven’t listened to much. And he picks them gemmy gems! Thank you for all the work and care you put into the Deadpod. Bella Ciao, Professor!
Chilly Jackwater via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/20
We are sooooook thankful for the Deadpod. We love you!
spencerlennard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/20
Professor/John does a fantastic job of curating a high quality set week after week both in terms of audio quality and the bands playing. Even with a huge variety of options to stream the dead I never miss a Deadpod.
josiwax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/20
I love looking forward to Friday’s, because I know there will be a new episode in my feed from the Professor. His deep knowledge and deeper cuts (blemishes and all) are a highlight of my week!
RevTed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/20
I’ve been listening to this podcast since close to its inception, and I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed yet. The Professor is, simply put... the MAN. He picks out a choice set each week and gives a brief, but informative intro that gives archival information about the band and the zeitgeist of...Read full review »

Love knowing I have 1hr+ of Grateful Dead music waiting for me every Friday! The prof never disappoints, and brings an interesting show to the table every week. Truly my favorite part of Friday!
Cash--Money via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/20
Prof does a great job delivering top quality Dead in the podcast format. Straight, no chaser. My only criticism is that airtime for 89-94 is fairly low. Subscribe and enjoy, folks.
highgate94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/19
I listen to past shows and can’t wait to see whats gonna have me groovin every Friday !!
smilksmoothie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/19
Love the show! Would love to hear more of the history of the band, set, music etc in the beginning of each pod
D.Wildes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/19
Another reason to to be excited about Friday! Always look forward to see what I will be jamming on my bike ride to work.
ZG from MN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/19
I have been listening to the professor podcast for years and it is the best period!
kdecody via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/19
Just so hard to pick something to listen to, all good here the professor does that work for you.
Max_Smiley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/19
“The Deadpod” is the best podcast for Deadheads! Rare, deep cuts. The Professor finds some real gems—shows from all different eras in the life of the Grateful Dead. Keep it going!
