I'd never thought much at all about Dolly Parton before. Jad Abumrad brings his Radiolab style to this show, and he hosts it because he has apparently always been fascinated by Dolly and has a unique connection to her through his father (he says on an episode of Switched On Pop that the show was only possible because of this access, dashing many aspiring podcasters' dreams no doubt). I wasn't going to listen, but I got sucked in quickly. The music is great and well-placed, and Dolly is delightful, kind, and authentic.
