SHOW NOTES
The emotions and ideas in Bob Dylan’s work have an expansive reach that extends beyond his fan base. We see threads of these in myriad aspects of our lives. In this episode, Jason Nodler, Founding Artistic Director of The Catastrophic Theatre, discusses how Dylan’s focus on feeling has influenced his approach to writing and directing. He also shares the values he learned from Dylan’s work and how they’ve influenced him throughout his life.
Jason has directed more than 50 productions in Houston, Austin, Atlanta, Providence, Pittsburgh, and New York. His original plays include Bluefinger: The Fall and Rise of Herman Brood, Life is Happy and Sad, Speeding Motorcycle, Meatbar, King Ubu is King, and In the Under Thunderloo. He was recently awarded the Best Director Award for 4:48 Psychosis by The Houston Press, is a NEA/MacDowell Colony fellow, a four-time MAP Fund grantee, and a recipient of an individual artist grant from Creative Capital. He is currently co-directing Sarah Kane’s Cleansed.

03.05 "Let Our Geniuses Fail" - Bob 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.

S03.04 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.

Customer Reviews
Dylan newbie
It took me decades to really get into Dylan and in my quest to learn more, I stumbled upon this podcast and substack that keeps me equally entertained and informed. Thank you for keeping all of the casual and hardcore Dylan fans learning from all different perspectives about this important icon!
A Valuable Addition to Dylan Podcasts
I listen to several podcasts having to do with Dylan. I especially appreciate those that delve deeply into his song lyrics as literature. This is my new fav Dylan podcast. It's 25th anniversary of TOOM and this podcast is beating all the rest in its episodes on this great album and it's significance in Dylan's career. The guests are all super knowledgeable and have added a great deal to my understanding of Dylan's work. Looking forward to more episodes.
Average
The interviews are choppy with what appears to be edits. It’s okay for Bob info
