Hi everybody and welcome to today’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein.

We all remember our first Phish show–all of us, that is, except today’s guest, Mike Radicone. Mike’s first show was one of the greatest shows ever played by the band, but he literally didn’t know what he was getting into. But there’s a silver lining to having no memories of your first show: you get to have another first show! 

As we are getting ready for Phish’s return to MSG for the New Year’s Run, I felt it would only be appropriate to have Mike here to tell about his second show: December 30, 2010–the night before the night, when Phish summarized the 2010 calendar year in one show. Listening to this show and then talking about it brought back a flood of memories for me, but it was refreshing talking to an enthusiastic guest, more of a casual fan, who spoke as if he were experiencing all of this for the first time.

Meanwhile, Mike is also the founder of Datability–a program that helps gather information for special education students–and the host of a new podcast: Mastered with Mike, where he speaks to everyday people who indulge their passions to create and master something they love. I think a lot of Phish fans can relate! 

But I don’t want to get it wrong or step on Mike’s shoes. So let’s join him to talk about Irish bars, fairy wings, and more, as we discuss December 30, 2010 at Madison Square Garden.
