Here is the latest news from David Gans, producer and host of the Grateful Dead Hour.

Slate story about Tales from the Golden Road

The headline is somewhat unfortunate, but the story is a good one. Jack Stripling interviewed Gary Lambert and me about our hosting of Tales from the Golden Road on SiriusXM’s Grateful Dead Channel.

Read it: UNGRATEFUL: As the long, strange trip nears its conclusion, two radio show hosts talk down disillusioned Deadheads.

Tales from the Golden Road is a call-in show that airs Sunday afternoons 4-6pm ET on SiriusXM Channel 23, the Grateful Dead Channel. Gary Lambert and I are the cohosts. Rebroadcasts Mondays 9am and Wednesdays 1am ET. You can join in the conversation by calling 888-897-4748.
