Cheryl J. Fish On Her Novel ‘Off the Yoga Mat’, Yoga & Sex, Bob Dylan, & Y2K, With Lucas Hare On Bob Dylan in the Late ‘90s/Early 2000s

What do yoga, the Y2K freakout, Finland, and Bob Dylan have in common? Cheryl J. Fish, that’s what. Cheryl brings them all together in her debut novel from Livingston Press, ‘Off the Yoga Mat’, set in that crazy year 1999, when everybody feared a looming mass technological meltdown and started filling their garages with buy-in-bulk toilet paper and miscellaneous canned goods (sounds familiar, doesn’t it?). Cheryl is here to talk about her novel.

Later, my go-to Bob Dylan guru pal, Lucas Hare, co-host of the fabulous podcast Is It Rolling, Bob? Talking Dylan, drops by to talk about what Bob Dylan’s career looked like in the late 1990s/very early 2000s—the period during which Cheryl’s novel is set. FYI: Dylan was a whole lot more active than you probably remember or might imagine, so stick around to hear Lucas and me geek out over that phase of Dylan’s multi-faceted career.
