America's Dead - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I binged this series in an afternoon, and it was enjoyable! The content and topics were very good and interesting. Some of the flow of the interviews felt a little jagged and awkward, likely due to cleaning up the fluff for time constraints. It felt like reading a magazine interview aloud at points, but that’s okay. The content was and the words spoken were still very fun and entertaining. No better band to talk about for hours on end. Thanks, Emmett!!

I totally missed the Dead when Jerry was alive because I was just too punk rock. Hearing these guys talk about these things 30years down the road was like being in a confessional for me. Never thought about the influence Kurt Cobain had on my totally unfounded hate for the Dead. Paid the ultimate price because Jerry is gone & I missed it. Now they are my favorite band. These pod casts are like having conversations with old high school friends. Loved every one.

This podcast gets into some really important questions that I too think about… the in-between home space that the GD provides. For a long time, although the GD was the background music of my life story and super front and center in my life, as far as my professional activist life I did it “on the side” and didn’t really mention it. This kind of show encourages me to come out of the closet and say it loud: GD is home and a major part of who I am, and I’m proud.

Whether you are a Dead Head or not (I am!) this is a good access point for people. Super interesting content and juxtaposition. Keep up the episodes and I love the personal touch that the host offers up every episode. Thanks for the last episode as I am a sober Dead Head as well. BRAVO!
