Its Theme Time Radio Hour, with your host Bob Dylan
Theme Time first came about in the late 90s during satellite radio's infancy. Lee Abrams, new to the company, felt that a show hosted by music legend Bob Dylan would fit the image and sound XM was trying to build. After it was learned that Dylan was already an XM subscriber, the company pushed forward. Dancing around Dylan's prior and continuing comitments (a new album and over 100 shows a year on the road) a deal was struck and on May 3, 2006 subscribers heard the first show, themed "Weather" which spanned the musical scope, from Frank Sinatra to Jimi Hendrix.
The show was immediately hailed by critics as a success by the NY Times, and Boston Herald, among many, many others.
Beginning with show 34, "Christmas and New Year's", fans in the UK could catch the show on BBC Radio 2 and BBC6 Music, again to great critical success.
The show is now in its third season and shows no signs of slowing down.
This is Luca Goldman, and while Bob is out digging through records for next weeks show, or checking email from listeners, I am here. I will post any song played on Theme Time Radio Hour, or, if you wish, a particularly interesting comment or anecdote. So go ahead and make a request.
I should mention that if you wish to email the show, this is not the place to do so. Email bobdylan@xmradio.com
Thanks Luca, TTRH brings back memories of listening to the radio while ridin' in the back seat of my Mom's car. A '52 Chevy, before satellite radio, even before Telstar, well before seat belts. She had a heavy foot on the brake, so we would launch ourselves from the backseat onto the dashboard whenever she used it. Don't tell my kids. Or their kids. Look out!!
I love your special "schemes & themes"... ...excellent music & a very special host: just perfect! Keep up the great work - greetings from Venice! a.m./unfolk
Thanks
