About the show
Following the culture.
For decades, the music of the Grateful Dead has reached far beyond the stage, shaping art, film, writing, sport, and the way a whole community gathers. The Terrapin Crossroads Podcast follows those threads.
Each episode sits down with an artist, musician, filmmaker, writer, or lifelong Deadhead to talk about the work they make, the scene that shaped them, and why this music keeps finding new ears.
