Listeners respond: remembering the Grateful Dead

The World

We take a journey back in time with Jerry Garcia, 15 years after his death. Takeaway listener, Lauren from New Jersey called in to say:

“While I can’t name Grateful Dead songs, I hear them and it just reminds me of my childhood. My mom was pregnant and went to a concert with mein her belly, and the Grateful Dead are what I grew up on”

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
