This week we're excited to be talking with Chris Pandolfi of the Infamous Stringdusters. They just released an excellent album, Laws of Gravity, and they're on tour! Here are the dates, but over the next week they'll be in the Bay Area, Southern California, Vegas, and Colorado. In the next couple of months they'll be all over the Midwest and back on the West Coast. It's a great concert experience. You may not be surprised to find out that we also talk about Phish. Chris is a huge fan and talks about playing with Page and Fishman (and Phil Lesh and others). Fun conversation, and we play a little bit of a show that Chris and I saw together, which really brought him back into the Phish orbit in 2014.

Thanks for tuning in this week! We made it to episode 100, so we decided to take this time to reflect back on the first 99 episodes and talk about some notable conversations, the lessons we've learned, and how much this podcast means to all 3 of us. We also want to reiterate how thankful we are to all of our listeners for your support, ideas, feedback and enthusiasm. We'll keep going as long as you keep listening. Of course, we also play some music. We each chose a track that we wanted to keep revisiting and share it with you (Brad, being Brad, chose 2. He's a lawyer, so we can't argue with him.)

This week's guest is Daniel Pinchbeck, the author of How Soon Is Now?, which comes out on February 20. It's a fascinating and timely book that talks about how we can collectively get out of the ecological and environmental disasters we've gotten ourselves into. You can read more about Daniel here. This is a bit of a departure from our typical subject matter, but the overlap of consciousness, psychedelics, music and culture seemed appropriate to probe into, especially at this inflection point in American history. Really thought provoking conversation. Of course, there is some music. Went back to the archive for some early Phish, which we think was probably influenced by psychedelics. Enjoy!

We had the privilege of interviewing Marco Walsh, Board President of The Mockingbird Foundation and a prominent member of the Phish.Net community who's given countless hours of his time over the years. This interview gave us the chance to talk in depth about the history of the site and the Foundation, while hearing about the incredible work that all the volunteers have done for 20+ years. We of course also touch on the Phish Companion. Hey, it's the holidays! Pick one up for a friend or loved one. Also, there's a contest! The Mockingbird Foundation donated one copy of the book as well as a really cool poster. All you have to do is share this post with your friends on Facebook and/or Twitter using #MbirdHFPod and we'll pick two random winners (one for the book and one for the poster) on Monday, December 5. Marco also shares memories from his first show, 4.17.92 at the Warfield in San Francisco. We talk a bit about that tour and that show, and we play a few tracks from that night.

We're all sad to hear news of the passing of Sharon Jones. Jonathan took some time last night to say a few words and put them together with some tunes. Seems like the thing to do is keep on dancing.

Today we bring you a different kind of conversation. Over the past several weeks, there has been a lot of conversation online about harassment and abuse of women at Phish shows and in the community more broadly. We invited three ladies on to talk about this, Felicia, Shelly and Jen. This episode was informed by the work of Brian Colligan, who wrote a piece about this topic. We borrowed the episode title from his piece. We hope this conversation sheds a bit of light on the issues and allows us to work together to make sure this kind of shit does not happen.

Here's a Quick Hit from Wrigley Field night 1, with our good friend Brian Brinkman. As a lifelong Cubs fan born and raised in Chicago, this was a huge night for Brian. We're glad he was able to share it with us. We've included a clip from the Twist from last night, which really just shows how nimble the band is, with their ability to "turn on a dime" in the middle of a jam, as Brian said.

For this tour, we're going to bring you a "quick hit" from each show -- a brief discussion and clip from the show -- and put them up by the next afternoon. Today we're chatting briefly about the show from last night in St. Paul, MN. We've included a clip from the Wolfman's Brother, as we feel like that captures the sound well. But this overall was a nice tour opener, and of course we're looking forward to more. Here's a link to the full setlist from Phish.net and you can download the show from LivePhish.com as well.

This week, we have our most ambitious podcast undertaking to date, done in partnership with our guest Justin Bruce. We compiled about 50 Phish Summer jams from across the eras, then asked people to vote on their top 15 jams. The results are in! This episode will feature the top 15 Phish Summer jams, as voted on by YOU! The format is a bit different: We count down the 15 jams a few at a time, and discuss in between. We encourage you to listen to the show all the way through to hear the countdown, but if you absolutely must know, you can click this link to see the list and how the episode timing breaks down. But we would encourage you to NOT do that and listen to the way it unfolds for your ears. As we're approaching tour, be sure to get your Summer Tour opener guess in! Also, you can still take our quick survey about how we can improve the podcast. Also, review us on iTunes, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
