This week, we’re getting to see the spiritual side of Bob Dylan, and we meet the man who accused him of being Judas in 1966. There’re some strange sights to be found on the Cornish coastline, but no panic - it’s OK to let your imagination run wild, as the All In the Mind audience discovered at the Hay Festival.
