How many days did it take for Too Late to morph into Foot of Pride? Is Dylan railing against the hypocrisy of organised religion? Has his career ever recovered from the Born Again days? How does he manage to sing such insanely complicated lyrics? In what way are the songs connected to Casino Royale and The Crucible? What’s Bob’s secret vocal trick?

In 2026, is “the soul of the nation under the knife”? Why are Trump and Steve Bannon name-checked in an episode about Dignity? How does Prince Philip attempt to get out of the Dignity racket? How did the Greeks personify concepts? How do Martin Luther King and the Greens fit in? Is a Bob Dylan podcast the right place to get political?
