I didn’t know much about Dolly Parton, especially as an immigrant to the USA. But they didn’t just talk about her life. The links to music traditions, their personal lives, the students, it is so cleverly constructed as a tapestry that eventually gives us such an interesting take on Dolly’s life. The part about the links to Jad’s father’s life were really moving. I am listening to it a few weeks after she passed away and the last episode has even more meaning now. Thank you for this gem.

Dolly Parton’s America was amazing. Well done guys! I learned a lot. I knew she was a great artist, but I didn’t know she was a great human, since I’m in the last branch of the millennials. Thank you.

I listen to a fair number of podcasts and Dolly Parton’s America did not disappoint. It was wonderful to learn more about her career, her personally, and the choices she has made. Jad does a great job (I enjoy most RadioLab episodes as well) and I found that he explored each topic thoroughly. His self reflection throughout the series only adds to journey. Thank you for a wonderful series!
