“Undermine brings an intimate look at all things Phish and adds a personal touch, oftentimes giving us the feeling that we are sitting in the room and part of the conversation and the inside jokes. As a subscription (premium) member, I have enjoyed the full catalog of the early seasons known as...”Read full review »

“Undermine itself is a good fun listen. It’s a couple of passionate nerds talking about epic moments in Phish history.
We’ve got a band, the latest release from them, is terrible. It’s young hosts with no charisma who think that Phish is all about partying. They need to read the freaking book.”

“I have listener whiplash with this podcast. The original Under the Scales was great listening and all that I look for in a podcast. Then the show went overly produced, fully scripted, and mostly unlistenable (for me). Seems to be getting back to actual conversations about Phish, so I will be...”Read full review »

“So much potential but ultimately disappointing. The level of production is terrible. At the very least get some better microphones and take the time to edit. The audience deserves better.”

“Love this podcast but now you have to sign up to hear the latest episode? Isn’t that why there is 10+ minutes of ads per show? Love the content though. All for revenue and understand that these things cost $ to produce and opens up other podcasts but not worth another subscription.”

“This show went from being about the history and cultural impact of Phish to telling its audience it is somehow a bad thing that a majority of phish fans are white people.
The episode stated we should seek to change this and try to change peoples behavior.
I really don’t understand but I feel...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast, so well researched and informative. Gave it 4 because Tom’s robotic delivery is a bit rough at times. Sounds like a hostage being forced to read. Guys, I love tom, but this ain’t it. Let someone who can read with expression and phrasing do the narration.”

“Remember how Phish is so dominant in their booking prowess that they regularly black out or cover up adverts in sheds and arenas they don’t see fit? Well the cash grab on this podcast is stunning, 15mins of commercials?
Can’t Triscuit at least get them to tone down the bro-beer plugs? Dig Tom and...”Read full review »

“WHAT?!
100% the definitive Phish history. Unbelievable detail and in-depth inquiry.
I saw Phish first when I was 15 in 1995 and never stopped. until listening to this podcast, I really never had the proper perspective on the timeline. It all makes so much more sense now. And I appreciate it on...”Read full review »

“These guys need to loosen up. The commentary sounds extremely rehearsed and canned. You can virtually hear them reading off of a cue card. Tom’s “snowboarder with a head cold” voice is done no favors with this approach. The episode about other indie bands from the 80’s sounded like a group of...”Read full review »

“I loved this season and look forward to more. Personally, I like some of the ‘tangents’ into other bands and other things going on at the time as it provides interesting context. Would love to hear even more from musicologists/composers about the music itself. Thanks for producing this 👏🏻”

“Insights, interviews and breakdowns. The thing I enjoy most is...everything really. Tom, RJ and crew really outdid themselves. Been a reefer since early in Under the Scales, and this goes above and beyond. If you think you knew everything you could about Phish, this show will prove you wrong.”

“I want to like iterations more than I do. But a podcast that is supposed to be deep into Phish spends more than half of its content week after week discussing other bands (Husker du (whoever that is), Yo La Tenga, King Crimson, the Dead, etc) is just not that interesting after abou 15-20 minutes....”Read full review »

“I enjoy the content but they need to stop pretending they’re having a conversation and just talk naturally. Maybe write some notes with points you want to cover and then talk like you actually talk about music. Just sounds so forced and sterile when these guys are obviously reading from a script.”

“Two great shows & one “meh” combine for one mediocre podcast.
