Episode Details

Bob Dylan recently launched a Patreon promising “a living archive of lectures from the grave, letters never sent, and original short stories curated by Bob Dylan.” Producer Adam paid the $5 to subscribe and reports back on what’s inside. It’s also contributor and MPR newsroom coordinator Denzel Belin’s birthday, so host Sean McPherson puts his news instincts to the test in a round of “Head-Lies,” where Denzel has to pick the one real headline from a group of fakes.
