So Many Roads: A Grateful Dead Podcast
So Many Roads Podcast is a show inspired by the Grateful Dead and the endless ways their music connects us. As a longtime fan, I’ve realized there’s still so much to learn—not just about the band, but about the culture, history, and personal stories that surround it. Each episode, I’ll sit down with guests to explore their journeys, uncover new perspectives, and take a deep dive into topics I have yet to investigate. So whether you're a longtime Deadhead or are just starting to explore, join me as I learn from the people who’ve lived it. 🎶🎙️

Getting on the Bus with Dave: Jerry’s Gear, an Autograph Story, and a Deadhead Origin Tale
In this debut episode, I sit down with my longtime friend—and our show’s producer—Dave, to talk about how he got on the bus, why Jerry Garcia’s guitar tone still captivates him, and what makes the Grateful Dead more than just a band. We break down some of Jerry’s legendary gear, including his effects and tone from the later years, and we take a few side trips into our own concert-going history, including how he got Jerry Garcia's autograph.
This one sets the tone for what this podcast is all about: discovery, curiosity, and deep appreciation for the music, the moments, and the people we’ve met along the way.
