Episode 17 - Phish Comes To Town Reprise!

Final episode of Season One and our first visual episode. Catch us on Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSDvcB3sCUyxxYQ8bUkyceg During this Phish Comes To Town Reprise, we dive into the unique world of Phish fandom. Our guest is Chris Badoian, a longtime friend of Dave's brother Dan and a devoted Phish fan himself. Chris talks about his journey from punk rock and skate culture into touring with Phish, along with the psychedelic experiences that often accompany that scene. He and Dave discuss Phish's early influences like Zappa and Santana, and compare their culture to that of the Grateful Dead. They share memorable and infamous stories, like the night Fishman disrobed, and dive into what it truly means to "follow" a band and why people do it to feel alive. Chris is witty, full of energy, and passionate. For him, the biggest draw to Phish was—and still is—how it opens his mind.
