Summary

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". Written, produced and performed by Colm Larkin. Theme music by Frank Harkin. All other music is used for the purposes of illustration and is intended as fair use.
