Gayle Ross is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation and a direct descendant of John Ross, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee during the period of the horrific "Trail of Tears" in the 1830s.  She is a world class storyteller and speaks throughout the United States.
Gayle and Barry have a wide-ranging discussion about current policies related to indigenous people, Native American musicians, animal stories for children, and why history books so often de-emphasize or ignore the truth about the very people who lived here before the first Europeans arrived.

Bob Dylan is back in the news because of a rollicking documentary about his 1975 "Rolling Thunder Revue" tour (now available on Netflix). 
Stasia Karel is archivist and assistant curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland, Ohio, a long time Dylan fan, and recently a panelist at the big Dylan conference in Oklahoma. 
Stasia and Barry address all things Dylan, including why he has sustained popularity way beyond so many of his peers who started in the "folk music" business in the early Sixties and why he deserved the Nobel Prize in Literature two years ago. 
Dylan's occasional humor and his continual re-invention of himself also come up in the conversation. See https://www.rockhall.com/visit
