Helping Friendly Podcast

The Helping Friendly Podcast (HFPod) explores the music and fan experience of Phish, through interviews and deep dives on shows and tours. Since 2013, we’ve aimed to bring the fan voice into discussions about Phish, and with the help of our guests, we’re still discovering new angles of appreciation for the band. And when the band is on tour, we provide a review of every show the following day with a fan who was there. As one of our listeners said, “this show has impeccable analysis, stats, commentary and music.” Join us!

Episode 120: Josh Thamm talks Phish and yoga Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

This episode we are joined by Josh, who talks with us about Phish and yoga. He's a yoga instructor, and a big Phish fan. He worked with us on a playlist of Phish jams that makes up a pretty great 60-minute vinyasa flow class. The tracks below are aligned with different elements of a vinyasa flow. Even if you don't practice yoga or you're not into it, you'll like this playlist. Take our word for it. Tracks below. If you're in Nashville, Memphis, or Oxford, Mississippi, you can check out the yoga studio that Josh teaches at, Hot Yoga Plus. Also, in the rare chance that you haven't seen it, here's a link to Trey guesting with the Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Beacon Theater. The Mountain Jam is pretty wonderful.

Show notes

This week, we're diverging from Baker's Dozen listening and analysis to look back at a summer show from 1996. We play the first set of 8.10.96, which was Phish's first show at the storied Alpine Valley, as well as a couple tracks from set 2. The details of the set are below. During this episode, we mentioned that we covered 8.6.96 in episode 8. If you want to go back and check that out, you can find it here. We had a blast doing the Baker's Dozen Quick Hits as well as the live event in New York. We'll be back with Quick Hits this weekend from the Dick's shows, and we hope that we can do another live event over the holidays if they do indeed pull the trigger on a New Year's MSG run. If you can, review us on iTunes, and support HF Pod Plus.
