A Milestone in the Daily Dylan Journey
May 24, 2024 – That’s when Daily Dylan officially launched, inspired by The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday, a book I deeply value. The thought was simple: in the Bob Dylan world, there’s always something happening, or something from the past worth telling – enough to fill every single day.
Since then, we’ve marked some key moments:
August 2024: First Daily Dylan Quiz
November 2024: Michael joins as Social Media Manager
March 2025: 7-part Bob Dylan & Stoicism series
May 2025: 7-part Bob Dylan & Purpose series
Summer 2025: 4-part Bob Dylan’s High School Bands series
The Social Media Chapter
When we started, I expected the Substack newsletter to be the flagship. But some Instagram reels went wildly viral, and managing the channel began to take up more and more time.
By fall 2024, Daily Dylan had a presence on Instagram, Facebook, and X – but I realized social media wasn’t what gave me the most fulfillment. I wanted to focus on the newsletter and the podcast.
That’s when I reached out to Michael, who I already knew and admired for his false_prophet44 channel. To my delight, he agreed to collaborate – and now handles 99% of our social media. Since then, he’s expanded our presence to Bluesky, TikTok, and Threads. I couldn’t imagine a better fit.
New Services for the Community
In 2025, we launched the Daily Dylan Ticket Service for paid subscribers – helping with presales, upgrades, and our Spare Tickets Corner for when extra seats are available.
From the start, our goal has been to offer a mix of fast, reliable news and genuine fan enjoyment: standout concert clips, rare stories, and exclusive deep dives. We’ve also made it a point to stay transparent about who’s behind the work – whether it’s writing these newsletters, running social media, or chasing down the latest Dylan developments.
Looking Ahead
We have exciting plans:
More podcasts with authors, experts, and fans worldwide
More exclusive series and articles about Bob Dylan
Live footage and updates from our on-the-road adventures
A dedicated membership area for paid subscribers including a first class streaming service
Continued growth of the Daily Dylan Quiz – with monthly leaderboard prizes coming soon
We’re truly grateful for your support – and excited to give something back. Your enthusiasm inspires us every day, and we can’t wait to continue exploring all things Dylan together.
With gratitude,
The Daily Dylan Team
