Undermine - Podcast Rankings and reviews

WHAT?!

100% the definitive Phish history. Unbelievable detail and in-depth inquiry.

I saw Phish first when I was 15 in 1995 and never stopped. until listening to this podcast, I really never had the proper perspective on the timeline. It all makes so much more sense now. And I appreciate it on a level deeper than before, which I didn’t really think was possible. Also, it’s really touching to hear the great friendship shared through this circle of people and fans.

I truly think that you could take this entire podcast, (I’m talking about the season one here that you’re doing) and create it as a film w pictures and mintages and make a visual documentary of this. I would def pay some bucks for a 5 hour Definitive Phishtory documentary! please?

what a beautiful addition to a continuing homage to greatness. Thank you all :)

Undermine brings an intimate look at all things Phish and adds a personal touch, oftentimes giving us the feeling that we are sitting in the room and part of the conversation and the inside jokes. As a subscription (premium) member, I have enjoyed the full catalog of the early seasons known as “Under the Scales” and the premium content offered in addition to the regular non subscription podcasts. Tom Marshall’s stories, his guests, his humor and the dive into the various topics discussed make this a phan-tastic addition to the history of Phish over the last 40 years. Undermine offers insight as to why Phish is still reaching their peak. Sit back, enjoy and get more down on the backstory of the band many of us love dearly…The Phish from Vermont!

I want to like iterations more than I do. But a podcast that is supposed to be deep into Phish spends more than half of its content week after week discussing other bands (Husker du (whoever that is), Yo La Tenga, King Crimson, the Dead, etc) is just not that interesting after abou 15-20 minutes. Don’t get me wrong, I like those bands. But what I want to hear are more inside stories, lyric deep dives, and hijinks about our favorite band. You know, the one this is supposed to be about.

I have listener whiplash with this podcast. The original Under the Scales was great listening and all that I look for in a podcast. Then the show went overly produced, fully scripted, and mostly unlistenable (for me). Seems to be getting back to actual conversations about Phish, so I will be tuning back in. 3.5 stars for now.
