This episode concludes the 2022 monthly series that has been celebrating the tenth anniversary of TEMPEST with this the tenth and final episode, exploring the album’s final song, "Roll on John," John Lennon, and death as an odyssey. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan, which includes director James Mangold’s announcement about the title of his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic and news about Ryan Adams’s recording – and making available as a free digital download on his website – his own version of Blood on the Tracks. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote this week to tell us who did “Roll on John" (the Margaret Mayo/Rufus Crisp song) better: Bob Dylan in 1962 or The Greenbriar Boys in 1964?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
