  • A Valuable Addition to Dylan Podcasts

    I listen to several podcasts having to do with Dylan. I especially appreciate those that delve deeply into his song lyrics as literature. This is my new fav Dylan podcast. It's 25th anniversary of TOOM and this podcast is beating all the rest in its episodes on this great album and it's significance in Dylan's career. The guests are all super knowledgeable and have added a great deal to my understanding of Dylan's work. Looking forward to more episodes.
