| 1/15/26 | Bob Weir, the Grateful Dead & the American Myth | As the country nears 250 years, we consider the frontier thesis, its shadows, and its promise. America has always valued the adventure not the destination. For more than six decades, Weir chose the road and invited us to climb aboard, reminding us that identity is made in motion and sustained by those who hold the center when the night gets loud.

| 11/2/25 | The Unbroken Chain: Phil Lesh, Daniel Donato, and The Capitol Theatre | A room can change the way music moves — and The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester is one of those rare spaces where the past hums in the walls and every note cuts sharper.

| 9/8/25 | The Fabric Holds: Standing Amid 60 Years of Deadheads | From London to San Francisco to Vegas, the threads of the Grateful Dead keep pulling me into unexpected connections. In this episode of So Many Roads, I follow those threads through a Dead & Company 60th anniversary show — from running into friends I first met in London, to a surprise backstage moment with Les Claypool, to standing among both brand-new Deadheads and veterans who’ve been there since the beginning. Along the way, I talk with the Do Dad, who shares how he once found himself ... | 22m 14s | ||||||

This is Part 1 of a two-part travelogue. In this episode, I visit key spots tied to the Dead’s brief but fascinating UK history: the Roundhouse in Camden (site of their canceled 1968 shows), the legendary Lyceum Theatre (where Europe ’72 reached its peak), and more.
