From his early days in Greenwich Village when he was managed by Terry Thall and paired with Suze Rotolo to his collaborations and friendships with women like Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, or Patti Smith, to his marriages to Sara Lownds and Carolyn Dennis, through the recent fervor over his duet with Barbra Streisand, Bob Dylan’s relationships with women have long been the source of fascination among fans, critics, and scholars. Whether professional or personal, these associations have undoubtedly left their mark on Dylan. In this episode, journalist and podcaster Allison Rapp and I discuss her work as a music journalist and her fantastic Joni Mitchell podcast, Big Yellow Podcast, and the impact women have had on Bob Dylan’s life and work.
