Theme Time Radio Hour - second series starts next week

After the triumph of the first 50 Theme Time Radio Hour shows, the second series starts on the XM satellite station in the USA next Wednesday, 19 September.

Reprising the successful format of an eclectic themed mix of mainly pre-rock ‘n’ roll songs, inter-cut with Dylan’s droll wit and wisdom, the new series will also have guests such as Jack White and John Cusack.

Episode one is on the theme "Hello," with "Young & Old," "California," the 2nd Annual Countdown Show, "Dreams," "Fruit," "Something," "Nothing," "Streets," "Parties," and "Mail to follow later in the series."

Theme Time Radio Hour airs on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. ET on XM's Deep Tracks (XM 40), and all day every Wednesday on XMX (XM 2).

Meanwhile, English listeners are still marvelling as the first series unfolds on BBC 6 Music at 9pm on Fridays. Let’s hope the BBC also buys series two. Theme Time, like Chronicles, has converted many who were resistant to Dylan’s music.
