  • EP#15 - 4th Time Around, I Paid in Blood
    Mar 16 2026

    This episode is also available in video format over on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XdJM50QwYY0


    Was Dylan taking the piss out of the Beatles with 4th Time Around? Who feels with their thumbs? Who doesn’t listen to lyrics? Where do we stand on Evil Spotify? Drawer or drawers? Crutch or crotch? Who is right about the Beatles, Kerry or Dan? Was Edie Sedgwick “Blonde on Blonde”? Why does the narrator gallantly offer his last piece of gum?


    Who said, in a promotional interview, “all these evil motherfuckers can rot in Hell”? Did Bob manage to integrate his shadow side in Pay In Blood? Why do boxers sometimes blow each other a kiss? Is the band Kiss one of Dylan’s influences? Is Ovid? What was the Lake Sasaginnigak incident? Who do you believe: Adele or Bob? Where is the Southern Zone?

  • Bonus EP#14 (TEASER) - Desert Island Dylan (Part II)
    Mar 9 2026

    This is a teaser for Bonus EP#14 - Desert Island Dylan (Part II), in which Daniel and Kerry each choose three more Dylan songs to take to a Desert Island. For full access visit pattern.com/bobdylanapproximately and for £5 a month you can become a Bobsessive.


    How does Barbra Streisand figure in Kerry’s choice of Mr Tambourine Man (the Budokan version)? Was he cast in her movie because he was “a good actor”? Why did a mysterious love affair cause him to move across the Atlantic? What does Dylan’s taste in drummers have to do with Stanley Kubrick directing a film trailer? Where were you on 9/11?


    Why does Born In Time remind Dan of being heartbroken (and mugged) in Paris? What’s the song that non-Dylan-lovers imitate when they take the piss out of his singing? How does I Want You make us feel safe? On which album cover does Bob resemble an uncool orthodontist? Which song did Dan play first when he got his phone returned to him in rehab?


    Recorded at Cathouse Studio, Islington, London.

    Producer: Robin Guise.

  • EP#14 - Most of the Time, There's No Time to Think
    Mar 2 2026

    Is “No Time To Think” a poem, a random word dream or a proper song? Which cover version unlocked it for Kerry? Why does it remind Dan of a Toto tune? Do we call it “a beautiful poetic explosion” or “vomit”? Is it the weirdest ode to a mid-life divorce crisis ever written, a cleverly disguised hatchet job on Albert Grossman or all of the above?


    Why does Dan repeatedly reference Ernest Hemingway in the introduction to Most of the Time? What musical element in the song’s video hurt Kerry’s brain? What’s the secret of the bass line? Is the song’s bridge “a sign of desperation”? Where does Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” fit in? Did the Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern remind you of Dylan?
