Broadside Ballads Vol. 1 (with Martin Fitzgerald)

Episode 13

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 54:50

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, it’s time to meet the podcast’s first guest. Martin Fitzgerald is the author of a brilliant new book about the JFK assassination, The Umbrella Man and Other Stories, as well as Ruth and Martin’s Album Club.

Borrowing the premise of the latter, I challenged Martin to listen to a record he had never heard before, Broadside Ballads Vol. 1, which features a number of Bob Dylan’s early compositions as well as performances by Dylan himself under the pseudonym Blind Boy Grunt.

Find out what Martin thought of the record and hear his take on the time it was recorded in: JFK’s America of the early 1960s.

Let’s revisit Broadside Ballads Vol. 1.

Written, produced and performed by Colm Larkin. Theme music by Frank Harkin - check out his band Ha Ha Ha.

Episode 8

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 33:25

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, I look back at Bob Dylan’s fourth studio album.

The Bootleg Series Vol. 1 (1961-63)

Episode 7

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 31:50

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, I look back at very first volume of The Bootleg Series, the long-running collection of outtakes, live shows and other rare recordings from throughout Bob Dylan’s career.

I explore the extraordinary number of songs that Bob Dylan wrote over a three-year period from 1961-63 but never officially released until The Bootleg Series finally gave us high-quality audio versions of so many early gems.

The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964)

Episode 6

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 • Duration 26:23

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, I look back at Bob Dylan’s third studio album, which cemented his (ultimately unwanted) position as a protest icon.

I explore its themes of protest, societal change, and personal despair, contrasting the hopeful title track with the rest of the record’s darker narratives of injustice and heartbreak.

In Concert: Brandeis University (May 1963)

Episode 5

Tuesday, September 16, 2025 • Duration 17:41

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, we look back at a short live Bob Dylan set at small folk festival in the gym room at Brandeis University in Massachusetts. Recorded in May 1963, just weeks before the release of The Freewheelin’ saw Dylan become a star, it's one of the last chances to hear him perform at such a modest event and features great renditions of some of his early classics.

Let's revisit In Concert at Brandeis University.

Folksinger's Choice (1962)

Episode 4

Tuesday, August 5, 2025 • Duration 19:25

An early radio appearance featuring performances and conversation with Cynthia Gooding.

In this episode of Dylan Revisited, we look back at one of Bob Dylan's first major radio show features from March 1962 when he appeared on the show Folksinger's Choice, hosted by Cynthia Gooding. Dylan performs a wide range of folk and blues standards, plus some of his early compositions, plus there's some compelling conversation with his husky-voiced host and plenty of Bob's myth-making.

Let's revisit Folksinger's Choice.

On the podcast, I call this a bonus episode but I since decided to make it freely available to all listeners. So just ignore those couple of references to "bonus".
