In May 2011, BBC Radio broadcast a special season of programmes to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday. There were around 25 in total. Some were purely music shows, others took a more documentary style and there were some discussion shows too which looked at different aspects of the man's life and career.

I’m in the midst of uploading all of these (with the exception of the 6-part Bob Dylan Story, which is already available on Demonoid) in the order they were broadcast.

This is upload number 4. It is an instalment of BBC Radio Scotland’s epic Celtic Zone. This programme, which was originally aired in April 2009 to mark the release of Together Through Life, contains eight documentaries from the Radio Scotland archives. These are interspersed with various songs from Bob Dylan’s career. It is presented by Eddi Reader.
