"Always Almost There" is a deep-dive fan podcast dedicated to the jam band Goose, hosted by longtime friends Ryan Storm, Neal Landry, and Brian Weber. Blending meticulous musical analysis with the loose, irreverent banter of guys who've spent years dissecting setlists together, the show offers marathon-length tour breakdowns, jam commentary, and setlist tracking that rivals the devotion of the most hardcore taper culture. Since launching their "Day After Show Live" series in 2022, the hosts have chronicled nearly every Goose performance, creating a running archival record of the band's evolution in real time. Episodes mix technical musical insight—covers, improvisation trends, show-to-show comparisons—with genuine camaraderie and humor, making it feel like eavesdropping on a group chat of superfans. The podcast is tailor-made for the Goose community and broader jam band/live-music enthusiasts who crave detailed, timely recaps and thoughtful discussion of a band's live evolution, filling a niche similar to Phish or Grateful Dead fan podcasts but centered entirely on Goose's growing catalog and touring culture.
