“I think this podcast is the gold standard for how a podcast should be presented. Impeccably researched, well produced, informative, educational, and insightful. I can’t imagine Bob Dylan being explained in a better way.”

“I only got into this podcast after it was already finished but I’m so glad I discovered it. Brilliantly produced and presented. Full of interesting facts and anecdotes but doesnt suffer from over analysis. The multi-part episodes for the most famous albums are the highlight”

“The level of detail across the entire canon of Dylan’s album is mind blowing. I zoned in on Freewheelin to start listening. I’ve learnt so much.
If I could also add that yes the lyrics are all important in this song, but the reason this album stands out for me as his best is because of the...”Read full review »

“Loved these series. I only owned about 10 or so of the classic albums and seen Bob live 3 times. But I have expanded my vinyl collection with this podcast and the reviews are spot on. Will miss this podcast when it’s done. Love to hear Bob review all the many Dylan obsessed podcasts in return😆”

This podcast works perfectly as Ben is able cut in the music to illustrate the point he is making. He also picks up his own guitar so he can...”Read full review »

“It’s a little galling to have listened to Dylan albums as they came out in the 60’s, to have a guy in his 30’s explain to me what I’ve been listening to. But Ben is the best. I don’t know where he gets the depth of knowledge about something created 30 years before he was born, but he’s got the...”Read full review »

“When Dylan turned up the amp at Newport back in the day, the crowd called out for folk music, and I can’t help but think that this album is his belated response. It’s an important record, because it offers us a conduit into the stories and songs of a past we might never have imagined. Here is the...”Read full review »

“If you know anything about Dylan listen to the episode of Infidels. I love that album but this host is way off. While Dylan sings, “Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart…”, the host says Dylan is lamenting that his Christian albums weren’t really...”Read full review »

“For Dylan’s spiritual focused records, he does a shallow look at songs that are deep and multidimensional.
He comes through as the ‘ Ballad of a thin man’ character, that just don’t know what’s going on.
You cannot explain art by just describing the techniques.”
