We Move Through Stormy Weather: Recent Episodes
Ryan Storm
We Move Through Stormy Weather is a Phish podcast hosted by Ryan Storm, an absolutely obsessed Phan from Toronto, Canada. This podcast will focus on a lively debate between the different eras of Phish; using specific jams as a lens to compare key versions from 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. Each episode will feature a guest and a song topic - Ryan is a HUGE 3.0 fan, having been born a month after 1.0 ended (but still appreciates the older stuff), so the goal will be for both the guest and Ryan to convince one another that the jam they have chosen is better.

For this episode of We Move Through Stormy Weather, I am joined by Jonathan Hart! A life-long Virginian, Jonathan lives with his wife and children a comfortable distance away from both Richmond and Washington, D.C. yet within striking distance should a worthwhile concert make the calendar. His primary vice is collecting records; a habit he picked up in 1990. There appears to be no cure. Jonathan has been writing songs for decades, mostly keeping to himself but, in recent years, he’s shared a couple with Colorado-based band, The Jauntee and, as of September 2020, he’s begun releasing songs via Bandcamp. You can find his work at jmhart.bandcamp.com. He can be found discussing The Grateful Dead and other tenuously related music as the host & producer of The Brokedown Podcast and can also frequently be heard talking about Phish as a co-host of The Helping Friendly Podcast. Listen as we break down some awesome versions of Stash, talk bustouts, evolution of jam vehicles, and more!
