It Is No SImple Road

 

We are more than just a Grateful Dead Podcast, more than a music and culture show, something other than a Deadhead family of cosmic wanderers.... We're real people living a life uncommon and we’ve grown into a thriving community… The No Simple Road Family. It really has been a trip to see where this show has taken us… Back in 2017 we started a Grateful Dead podcast and soon it became about so much more than just The Grateful Dead. No Simple Road has turned into a show about the whole music scene, the community of freaks, heads, weirdos, misfits, dabblers, and wildcards that we are a part of and love so much. Beyond the music, we delve into the worlds of comedy, food, art, books and all the things that turn us on, make us think, bring us joy, and make us smile! We’re grateful to have you along for the trip with us on this wild ride!
