You may recognize Ian Grant’s name — he’s co-host of the Jokermen podcast series, which started out being about Bob Dylan and has since evolved into conversations about Lou Reed, Brian Wilson and more.

Ian was kind and brave enough to personally volunteer himself to come on Big Yellow Pod to talk about a Joni Mitchell album he said he’d recently gone down a rabbit hole with, 1976’s Hejira. What I did not know before we hopped on Zoom was that Ian’s familiarity with Joni’s music apart from Hejira is limited. This excited me! Contrary to what some may think when they listen to these guest episodes, no one needs to be an expert on Joni to join. This is a show designed for listeners of all fan levels.

So here, Ian and I discuss Hejira.

Thanks for listening x
