Thank you for the “Remembering” episode. You guys did a great job on a difficult day. We needed this episode, so truly thank you both. Our hearts go out to Jimmy’s family and of course all our Parrothead family. Fins up everyone, it’s been a lovely cruise 💕

MainelyMargaritaville · Sep 2023

As a longtime fan of Ryan & Patrick, I’m thrilled to see them still in the podcast game. The Parrothead Podcast was one of my all-time faves and License To Chill is going to be one as well. Love the premise and can’t wait to see who the guys get to talk to every week. Fins up!
