  • FAO Bobsessives

    Essential listening for Bob Dylan fans. Covers a wide range of Dylanology from the history and songs, to books, films and beyond. Laid back and fun with two brilliant and passionate hosts.

  • Ears of Rage (Take 2)

    This is two actors (Kerry ‘Sorry!’ Shale and sidekick), so don’t expect intellectual heft. But their enthusiasm (and misapprehension) is engaging - they’ve clearly been listening to Bob for years, if not exactly paying attention. Bit sweary, predictably anti-Trump, but so goes podland. It fills that ‘Is it Rolling, Bob?’ void!

  • Good stuff.

    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!

  • The most entertaining Dylan pod out there

    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.

  • Please do not spoil it

    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.
