Montreal writer Kathryn Jezer-Morton joins me to mount a spirited defence of one of her favourite (and my most misunderstood) bands: The Grateful Dead. Kathryn discusses becoming a Dead fan despite (not because of) growing up on a commune, liking bands because of (not despite) their flaws, the Dead becoming unexpectedly cool again, and other topics.

Check out Kathryn's playlist of live Dead faves.
