Please share the name of the song used throughout the show and where to find it. I really enjoy your conversations! Thank yoh U!

I can’t remember the last time I got this much pleasure listening to a podcast. The two of y’all are a trip. I enjoyed just hearing the laughter. I would show up every Sunday to hear the two of you preach. The stories, experiences and love shared was palpable. I’m waiting for part 3. Seriously, thank you both for these conversations. It was good for my soul to hear such down home truth.

Can’t see the pictures…duh.

Thank you thank you Mike and Oteil for putting your time and energy into this podcast! I’m raising a teenager with multiple learning disabilities and mental health challenges-while managing mine and my spouse’s bouts of anxiety and depression (and all the physical upkeep of peak middle age!), caring for aging and ailing parents, and a woman living in a red state. This show brings me so much peace and connection-as a Deahead, as a spiritual person, as a deep thinker and sometimes just someone who wants to escape and feel a broader connection. I appreciate your vulnerability, your laughter and your love for each other and of course, music. You both bring me through some dark spaces like I’m just hanging out with my besties. Please keep on keepin on!

Man, I’m so glad I finally got into this pod, and I sub to the Patreon because it’s that good, want to make sure these guys keep it going. I’m 1000% going through a metamorphosis in my life, and the discussions in this podcast are just like a magical convergence. It’s like all the thoughts, all the conversations, all the things I never could put into words. It’s just wonderful, life filling content, it’s the good stuff. Thanks so much to the guys and crew who make this happen. Magic.

The one dude says ‘like’ every other word like a school girl. Horrible. Please stop!

I am so glad you guys decided to talk to this dude. Huge fan for years and was glad you guys took the chance to talk to him.

You guys are amazing. Love listening!!! Keep it up! Professional wrestling with Col Bruce never dies.

Love listening to Comes a Time but since you changed platforms it's been difficult to hear. Please boost the master gain on the final mix. Update 8/29/23: Great to hear you guys! Thank you!

I just love your show and today’s show was no different, just hearing you guys talk. “Santa is sus “, just cracks me up. In my your story about keeping the magic of love for the younger sibling rings true for me. I have taken that message to a whole new level with my grandkids. I told them I used to be the tooth fairy in New Jersey. I have also told them when we were kids in Hartford, we could get jobs in the summer as Santas helpers up north. The program was called Santas helpers in training, but we had to change the name because the acronym was a swear. The main thing is even the magic of life for them and even when they find out they know what that magic is all about it’s important. Anyway, I hope to catch you. Eaten a show very soon anytime you’re coming around Hartford keep up the good work. Love, Marsha.

This show really helps me get through life’s kinks. Thanks gents, Matt

Such great conversations in this podcast. Thanks guys! Love it.

I love the very chill and down to Earth conversational atmosphere, and yet one really gets into the nitty gritty of the cultural life of rock and roll. The episode with Paul Stamets and Bobby was enlightening!

Enjoying this podcast…lots of thoughtful conversations with a good dash of fun and humor.

Oteil & Mike hit the bullseye with this witty, sharp & informative podcast that makes us THINK, something too many people have gotten away from! Let’s all pay attention!

All roads lead to Terrapin!

Incredible podcast that’s helping bring us all to Grace through conversation and humor

This is the best, heart touching and amazing every episode is like a live concert and I’ve gone back and listened to them over and over again, I wish there was more, luckily there’s patron bonus episodes, but still wish there was more

Started off skeptical.. was slightly annoyed with Mike always talking about his time with Ken kesey. But for some reason I kept listening and now I feel like Mike and Oteil are like buddies I grew up with that have turned out to be amazing, loving, human beings that want the planet to be a better place. Btw, Mike no longer talks about his time with Kesey and instead has become a super thoughtful interviewer and brings the best out of their guests. I don’t know how many times I finish a new podcast with these guys and feel inspired to be a better Dad, husband, friend and fly fishing guide! Ha! Thanks guys for an amazing project… please don’t stop. Paul Wimberley, Tx

Met Mike at a JRAD show and he told me about this pod cast. Listened to it yesterday and hooked! Great info and I love Oteil.

Excellent podcast and always enlightening - I’m so thankful Oteil and Mike started this. It helped through the pandemic and is still a blessing

oteil, what a trip to find your podcast!! this is excellent, and here’s why: the first episode i listened to was #46, with dr stanley krippner. (cue the twilight zone & outer limits theme songs) this struck so many harmonic resonances within me, i’m still buzzing. as a former public defender and career criminal defense attorney, i typically listen only to “true crime” podcasts. but i think i can rationalize including you in that group. 😉 i highly recommend this podcast. oteil is a smart guy, truly interesting, and has traveled such an incredible path thus far… and he’s just getting started. i love the chance to ride the bus with him.

The new shows aren’t here. Last one I see is victor Wooten. Please fix

I am not sure how I stumbled on this podcast but I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of guests and the depth of the conversations that I’ve witnessed here. I think there is some amazing stuff coming from this great duo. Truly looking forward to it!

Mike and Oteil are both great with interesting guests. I go away from almost every podcast having new things to check out and explore. Thanks for the revelations and good vibes! ❤️✌🏻🤓💙

Incredible conversations and guests. Each episode is like a great meditation. I love your work and energy. Keep on truckin’

I really enjoy this, most of the time, but I would rather hear the stories and interactions between the artists and the guests, rather than get clued in to everybody’s political leanings and racial accusations!! If you find this offensive, there’s always CNN and Fox News for politics!!

In order for the show to be better, Oteil needs another cohost

These guys need to have their own opinions. All i hear is them quoting other people and what other people have learned. The epitome of not everyone should have a podcast

I’m really digging the chemistry between the two hosts and how they mesh well with a wide variety of guests on the show. It’s like they’ve been doing this for 20 years! Also, very insightful thoughts into conversations about relevant topics in the world we’re living in today

I’m a big fan of Oteil’s music. Wish I would have found the podcast sooner. It’s entertaining, but also has lots of insightful conversations and thoughts on this crazy time we are living through. I’ve also started getting back into playing music during the pandemic so It’s fun to listen to the conversation about music. I needed this.

This show is a breath of fresh air. I grew up with the band. I was a tour kid starting at age 3! Please have Donna on the show! She doesn’t get a fair hand with a lot of the community but I want to hear what she has to say!

Why hasn’t Mayer been on the show? Great job guys!

So grateful for you guys and this podcast. Thanks for all you do!

PLEASE get Sam Cutler on the show! We need to hear his road stories :)

Oteil has a specific purpose here that is directly inhibited by Mike. Oteil searches for meaningful statements from guests, but often it is hard to get past Mike who often keeps the conversations comfortable and lighthearted (read: superficial) to get to those amazing nuggets of Oteil/guest dialogue. My other suggestion is to edit out technical difficulties and uncomfortable moments like when Mike asked the Mathews to switch to headphones in the middle of the interview. I love the podcast and am giving my feedback because I want to see it blossom into a movement! Great work guys.

Thank you both for this episode. The sincerity of communication from both of you was truly beautiful. Both of I want to understand and this is how I feel... To be able to share both sides of that coin was really important and great! I’ve already shared this with several people. Thanks again, stay well and healthy!

Such an amazing show. Keep it up.

In this time of isolation I can’t thank you enough for the joy this podcast brings. I have enjoyed every one of them so much, laughing and sometimes weeping at the shared love for the community and music.

Awesome interviews with our musical Heroes!

I really am enjoying this show! Mike and Oteill bring such passion and insight into our community but I also really appreciate the focus on the current tensions that are engulfing the country every day. Thank you!

Every episode keeps getting better and better!! Please keep these coming. I love all the old stories!

Thank You Mickey, Oteil, & Mike !! amazing episode ... love the vibe. so real, honest, & true 🌀💜⚡️

Long a fan of Oteil and his music, such a pleasure to hear him have real and relevant conversation with fellow musicians, and people inside and outside the Dead Community. I’ve now listened to almost all the episodes and have been intrigued by each one. Thank you, Mike and Oteil.

Love the podcast. Do you ever plan on having Professor David Schools on to discuss the importance of the Deep End of Sound? I would also love to hear members of TTB visit to remember what an amazing person and musician your brother Kofi was. We miss him, Thank you!

Listening to Steve Parrish now, incredible story teller. I love this, thank you so much.

Perfect podcasts of Deadheads and JamBase fans in general. Oteil is very down to earth.

RJ has incredible hair. Not another podcaster out there with lettuce like this guy. Truly a garden up there.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I’m not big into pods, but this one got me hooked!! Give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Osiris media keeps providing insightful podcasts that delve into the world of music and art that I surround myself with to cope with the lunacy that is todays society. Keep it up please and thank you .
