March 08, 2024S03.05 “Let Our Geniuses Fail” – Dylan In The Mid 80’s w/Erin Callahan
Bob Dylan struggled in many ways in the mid 80's, no matter how you look at it. We talk about the perception and reality of that struggle, along with his triumphs, with Professor Erin Callahan.
Erin often hosts The Dylantantes podcast, is co-author/co-editor of The Politics and Power of Bob Dylan’s Live Performances - a recent book looking at Dylan through the lens of his live setlists, and has another book coming - this one about Bob Dylan in the 1980s. She's a Professor of English at San Jacinto College in Houston, Texas.
This is an extended version of this episode exclusively for FM+ Subscribers and FM Club Premium Members.

February 10, 2024S03.04 Yonder Comes Sin & Every Grain of Sand w/ Michael Gray
We continue our series with Michael Gray on Song & Dance Man, Vol. 2 with a discussion of two chapters on great songs from Bob's Born-Again Period. The first is Yonder Comes Sin, and outtake captured at a live show soundcheck, and unreleased until the Trouble No More Bootleg Series. The Second is the beloved Every Grain of Sand.
This is an extended version of this episode exclusively for FM+ Subscribers and FM Club Premium Members.
The nature of Michael’s work and writing is such that if time permitted I would discuss near every paragraph - it’s very tough to choose the quotes used in these episodes and narrow down the discussion. So for this episode even more than all the others, it’s highly recommended that you get the book and read the full chapters.

February 04, 2024S03.03 Dylan & The Dead – The Relationship w/ Harold Lepidus
Dylan & The Dead is much more than an album, it's a relationship. In this episode we talk to Dylan and Dead expert Harold Lepidus about all aspects of that history, the shows, the rehearsals, the inspiration, and the impact.
This a part of our 'Five Worst Years' series looking at all sides of 1984-1988. Dylan first started spending time with The Dead in '87, rehearsing and then playing live shows - some of which resulted in the 1988 Dylan and The Dead album.

January 27, 2024 BONUS: Empire Burlesque on Watching The Covers Flow
A new podcast just launched on The FM Podcast Network - Watching The Covers Flow with Ray Padgett.
Watching the Covers Flow is a podcast that dives deep into covers of, and by, the most covered songwriter in rock and roll: Bob Dylan. Host Ray Padgett (Flagging Down the Double E's newsletter, Pledging My Time book) explores covers across era and genre, from a hip-hop "Subterranean Homesick Blues" to a bluegrass "Ring Them Bells" to Dylan's own frequent detours from writing his own songs to singing other people's.
We're sharing the first episode here to help people become aware of it - so you can go and subscribe in your favorite podcast player.
And also, because Ray tackles the same album we talked about on our last episode - Empire Burlesque. He shows how covers produce a very different take on these songs.

January 20, 2024S03.02 Empire Burlesque (Song-by-Song) with Jim Beviglia
Following 18 months after Infidels, nothing about the making of this record - the recording process, the sound, the songs, or even the cover art - suggested that Dylan was on solid footing. The times were a-changin' again.
Yet the music did impress some: Rolling Stone asked: "Is Dylan “back”? Again? One is tempted to trumpet some such tidings. ...Empire Burlesque is nothing as straightforward as a simple return to rock & roll form for Dylan."
In this episode we look at the first proper release in our focus years of 1984-1988, talking with music writer Jim Beviglia about Empire Burlesque and each of the songs it contains.
** The Extended Version of this Episode is 55 Minutes long and available to FM+ Subscribers **
Jim writes about music for American Songwriter, Culture Sonar, and has written a series of books called Counting Down Their 100 Finest Songs with editions on Dylan, Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and many others. A post on the website CountDown Kid led us to talk to Jim about this record.
For more background on the recording history of this album, as discussed in the episode, check out wikipedia or get Clinton Heylin's book: Bob Dylan Recording Sessions.
