Episode description

We are sitting in the front of the classroom again, this time hunkering down with the classical roots, poetic influences, and many odysseys of The Odyssey in the music and vision of Bob Dylan with Richard Thomas of Harvard University. Author of the award-winning book Why Dylan Matters, Thomas finds the deep influence of the poetic geniuses of the ages in Dylan's work, and we're here to find out why and how this matters.
