A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Done in a way that brought me right back to the swamp. Recreated the experience, so that hopefully, those that couldn’t attend can feel the emotional journey we went on during that overnight set. So good!!!

Amazing job on this podcast. From the interviews to the walking the listeners through each step of the process, so well done! Definitely got chills listening to it and remembering and reliving one of the best moments of my life.

You guys absolutely nailed this production! I just finished and the hair on my arms is still standing at attention....this happened numerous times throughout my listen. I felt like I was transported back in time...the sights, sounds, smells, and green powder. Thank you so much for your effort!

Thanks for putting together a wonderful reminiscence of Big Cypress, a once-in-a-lifetime party. So grateful to have been able to be there and so grateful for Phish, their crew, and fellow artists who made it all possible. This podcast was a fantastic listen and brought back some incredible memories.
