We're back to review the new Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown (**SPOILER ALERT**). We discuss Hollywood-ifying the cultural and political tensions of Dylan going electric, who's represented, misrepresented (Toshi Seeger, Alan Lomax) & left out entirely (Jean Ritchie, Harry Smith), Timothée Chalamet's press tour, and our yearning for the Nosferatu of the folk revival.

Episode 8: A Complete Unknown Legend In Her Time

A new music podcast from writer, researcher &amp; producer Sophie Abramowitz, artist &amp; musician Sarah Bachman, and folklorist, writer &amp; SPINSTER co-owner Emily Hilliard. The tongue-in-cheek name is inspired by the phenomenon of women folk musicians of the 20th-21st centuries being dubbed, for better or worse (usually worse), “the female Bob Dylan.” This is a podcast about gender &amp; genre, singer-songwriters, the idea of tradition, and what we need to do to find Connie Converse (according to ChatGPT). Join us as we hang out, talk a little trash, and reassess the women of the folk scene.
