This week Justin, Sam, and Tanya join me to talk about one hell of a week in Phish tour. We start with the Augusta Civic Center and work our way to Amherst Night 2. We have some clips to share, along with a debate about Set 1 vs. Set 2. and even a report of h3tty chowder slipped in. We taped the show while Phish was playing quite the first set in “ManchVegas”, so every now and again, you get our “couchtour” reactions. Lastly, we play you out on what we all agreed was a much needed bust-out.
Be sure to join us next week, when Eric, Scotty, and Drew will be on to talk about the final 4 shows of Fall tour 2010.
Thanks for listening,
Steve

Two things:
1) I’m a big fan of this podcast, I’m glad you’re doing it, and look forward to it each week, so please keep at it, and take 2) with a grain of salt.
2) I don’t think the audio/technical stuff has improved at all. That is, the voices of the guests seem more audible than the first ‘cast and the audio clips are great, but this past installment might’ve been the worst yet. Early on there were loud crackling sounds, as if someone typing at a keyboard was coming through, and I think this happened one or two more times. Also, the Skype chat bleeps are just as audible as they’ve been since the first installment. Lastly, I think you would do yourself, and each podcast a great service by attempting to avoid the repeated-word responses, i.e. “Cool, cool”, “Defintely, definitely” to each panelist’s commentary.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I think you’ve got a great thing going, and wanted to voice that in an effort to, perhaps, improve the overall quality of the show.
Excited to hear what y’all have to say about Halloween.
Cheers.

Thanks for listening and providing some honest critique. I agree about your points in #2, and worked on those issues for Episode 4. Take a listen and let me know what you think.
Be Good.
