I’ve been saying for years that he and Picasso are the only 2?real genius’s of the 20th century. This podcast is the first time I’ve heard someone say something similar!
Have been a Dylan fan since the 70’s and never found a Dylan podcast I enjoyed until this one. Both funny and informative. Relatable and hilarious presenters who know their stuff. Keep up the good work guys.
I agree with all previous praiseworthy reviews. Great to have Kerry back, being Kerry, and 2 guys chewing over Bob!
My title is aimed at Daniel’s unnecessary and overused reliance of the F word. I’m no Quaker but it’s pointless and adds nothing to an otherwise great listen.
Really enjoyed this podcast it was informative but also very funny. Would recommend giving this a listen!
Well with a listen!

Bonus material and film/book club-style episodes extend the format, with guests, community-supported extras, and a willingness to chase tangents that illuminate Dylan's evolving persona. The show's strength lies in its open, humorous approach to complex songs and periods, making dense musicology feel engaging and... more
