Each episode had a freeform (radio format), freeform mix of music, centered on a theme (such as "Weather", "Money" or "Flowers") rather than genre.

Dylan would read emails from fans, take listener phone calls, play vintage radio promos and jingles, tell jokes, recite poetry, play taped messages from celebrities, and provide commentary on the music.
