    Bob Dylan & The Heartbreakers at Farm Aid '23 with Rebecca Slaman

    In this episode Laura talks to writer and friend of the pod Rebecca Slaman about Bob Dylan’s surprise appearance at this year’s Farm Aid, where we played a short set with the Heartbreakers. Here’s a fun fact I only figured out after the episode was finished: the song that preceded Dylan’s remarks about American farmers during Live Aid was in fact The Ballad of Hollis Brown! I erroneously said that Stan Lynch was on the drums, but it was actually Steve Ferrone.
