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.
