The Female Bob Dylan

A new music podcast from writer, researcher & producer Sophie Abramowitz, artist & musician Sarah Bachman, and folklorist, writer & 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 & 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.

    Episode 6: The Official FBD Last Waltz Tier List with Kana Zink

    Our Last Waltz Thanksgiving Special! While Sophie rests her voice, our friend Kana Zink steps in to help us rate the performances in Martin Scorsese's documentary of The Band's 1976 farewell show on a scale from "superior" to "madness or genius?" We also discuss Levon Helm's thousand yard stare, visit Garth Hudson's mulch factory, and consider the correlation (or causation?) between V-neck depth and ego.

    Episode 4 Bonus: Pack Up Your Sorrows: On Mimi Fariña

    As we dug deep into Joan Baez’s history and lore we found ourselves drawn to her little sister Mimi Fariña, whose story is usually hewn to her husband Richard and to Joan. For a few minutes, we unspool the moment and send our flowers to Mimi and her beautiful voice.

    Episode 4: You, Me & The Revolution: On Joan Baez

    We follow Joan Baez’s life through her meteoric popularity when folk music was the thing and discuss what exactly that thing was: as in, we talk revival and invention, tradition and interpretation, authenticity, corniness, and theft. We also sit with Joan’s politics, how she’s been positioned as *the* female counterpart to Dylan, and her vibe as a committed barefoot person.
