If anyone is looking for a really good pop music-related podcast, "Strong Songs"[1] released at least one episode [2] about Dolly Parton, the episode is very well made just like all other episodes I've listened to, and and I highly suggest that podcast to anyone interested in music.

- acheron 6y agoScanning through the list of episodes now, and it looks promising. I’ll definitely try it out, thanks for the link!
- soneca 6y agoI would also recommend this podcast series (9 episodes) dedicated to Dolly Parton: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dolly-partons-america https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dolly-partons-america It’s by Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad. It is fascinating, even to me, that knew next to nothing about Dolly Parton. I listened to the whole series and came out with great admiration for her.
- jimmySixDOF 6y agoAn interesting tie in point is that Jad's father is a doctor at Vanderbilt University who treated Dolly after a car accident. The father and Dolly developed a relationship sharing stories of how they both grew up poor etc and their conversations on health science led to her $1M donation to help early Covid research (SARS-1). Dolly Parton is the kind of person who can restore your faith in humanity and its great the podcast interviews are such a success.
- jimmySixDOF 6y ago(Correction) The research grant was for COVID-19 not for the first Sars virus. But she did meet the Doctor from Vanderbilt back in 2013.
