This new 9 part miniseries of Radiolab's Jad Abumrad just premiered today. An exploration of a pop culture icon than on a surface level is regarded as a boob joke in late night shows but whose songs explore the evolution of women in America.

This episode manages to cover both murder ballads and third-wave feminism 😀

Even if you only ever listen to the first episode of this new 9-part series, you will get a lot more than just a lovely dose of Dolly. It stands alone well, but I’m definitely in for the upcoming journey!

Wow I had no idea that Dolly Parton is such a boss!

As someone who knows very little about Dolly Parton, this is incredibly informative and entertaining. I also think there is enough history and context to entertain hardcore Dolly fans too

@podcastplaylist is would be my other choice for podcast of the year. Pleasantly surprised by learning more about Dolly Parton and seems I'm not the only one.

Finally listened to this because I was feeling a bit FOMO. I didn’t know much about Dolly other than people treat her as a joke and she’s larger than life especially with Dollywood. But wow, this woman is power 💪

Really great series. Surprised by how much I’m enjoying it! (Didn’t think I was a Dolly fan, until now)

I love this whole series but what I love this episode because it really addresses Dolly's Point of View about herself and how she's always ahead of the joke and doubles down. She loves the idea "getting things off her chest" about the jokes and then get to the REAL conversation.

This first episode sucked me in to the entire series and I came to love Dolly Parton (she wasn’t really on my radar prior).
I thought this episode was:
