Helping Friendly Podcast
The Helping Friendly Podcast (HFPod) explores the music and fan experience of Phish, through interviews and deep dives on shows and tours. Since 2013, we’ve aimed to bring the fan voice into discussions about Phish, and with the help of our guests, we’re still discovering new angles of appreciation for the band. And when the band is on tour, we provide a review of every show the following day with a fan who was there. As one of our listeners said, “this show has impeccable analysis, stats, commentary and music.” Join us!

This week we have a really special episode. We do a live draft, where we each seek to capture the best years of Phish. We use a snake draft format, and Brian, Megan, Jonathan and RJ (in that order!) each choose one year of Phish per decade. We're asking you, the listeners, to vote on who has the best years of Phish. This was really fun and we hope you enjoy it.
