Chapter 5 — Meeting The Chief: The Ken Kesey Experience

This chapter shares the story that was the initial catalyst for this entire project. In 1997 Mike Finoia went to a Phish show that forever changed his life; one that led to a friendship with legendary American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure, Ken Kesey. 


This episode features never before heard footage of one of the last interviews of Ken Kesey’s life, as well as Mike's account of an unforgettable journey that would never have occurred without chasing the moments. 


Includes interviews with Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs.


Still Chasing is produced by Osiris Media. Executive Producers are Mike Finoia and Michael Shields. Series art by Geoffrey Tice.
