Episode 18 - Simple with Rob Mitchum

For this episode of We Move Through Stormy Weather, I am excited to be joined by Rob Mitchum! Rob is a science and music writer in Oak Park, Illinois. By day, he writes about computer and data science for the University of Chicago. By night, he writes about bands for publications such as Pitchfork and Uncut. His current jambandy projects are 36 From The Vault, a podcast about the Grateful Dead Dick's Picks series, and Phishcrit, a series of essays on the Phish shows of 25 years ago. He is currently making his way through Fall 96 and I highly recommend checking it out! Listen as we dive into the transitional period of Fall 1996 Phish, Page's synthesizer playing, and our favourite versions of Simple!
