While this very special episode does NOT contain my transformation into a 1.0-loving jaded vet, listen to it for some genuinely fantastic discussion on and a deep dive into Jennifer Dances, a hidden gem in the Phish ballad catalogue. Matt Kolinski and Steve Vickner, two We Move Through Stormy Weather veterans, return to go on this journey with me - hope you enjoy!
