About this episode

Send us Fan Mail

 Welcome to Season 6, Episode 19, of "Secondhand Talent: The Podcast"!!! From the whole Secondhand Talent Family to yours, we wish you a musical "Dasy Between" as we celebrate the lives of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Pigpen, Brent, and all of the fallen soldiers of the Graretul Dead. We honor them by playing their music as they would want us to. 

In this special "Days Between" episode of the Secondhand Talent podcast, Steiner interviews historian and publicist of the Grateful Dead and author of "The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created The Sixties", "A Long Strange Trip: The History Of The Grateful Dead" & "Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, The Beat Generation & America" - the one and only, Dennis McNally.

Join Steiner and Dennis as they explore the rich tapestry of American history that is the 1960s counterculture. They primarily focus on the San Francisco scene, the influence of the Beat poets, and the cultural impact of the so-called "Summer of Love." Dennis McNally also shares some of his personal insights into overlooked artists, key events, and the enduring legacy of this transformative era.

The Music Never Stops.
