My name is Ben Barrow and this is Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-death look

at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record. So welcome to this final episode, at least for a while of

this podcast. We're going on a, as they seem to call it these days, lengthy hiatus. Just before we get to

this final episode, I just wanted to say, well, thank you for listening

over the past few years now. I honestly can't believe this podcast has gone on this journey.

I've said this before on this show, so forgive me for repeating myself. But I recorded like

a kind of pilot episode just to see what it would be like. And I thought it sounded okay. And I

uploaded it to this podcast server. Again, just to see what it would be like and um i thought it sounded okay and i uploaded it to um these this podcast

server um again just to see how that whole process works and i did that um over a weekend and i started

to get emails and reviews from people like the following week and i couldn't believe it and and i thought

i better i better start doing more um i didn't realize how quick it would be for people, one, to start listening to it

and for people to feedback on it as well.

So this show really wouldn't exist without you, without people doing that.

I wouldn't have carried on.

So thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your listening hours.

I can't believe we've reached over a million and a half downloads for this podcast.

And I'm super proud of that achievement, not only because I enjoyed doing this, but because,

you know, in the world of podcasting, you don't tend to get to that sort of, those sort of

numbers, not that that's big achievement, but you don't tend to kind of get out the gate at

all unless you have a celebrity on every single week and we haven't really ever done that unless you

have backing from Spotify or Apple or someone like that. So thank you for making this podcast.

What it is, it's a true indie podcast and it is all down to you. So nice one for listening.
