Even the Rich

Saint Dolly | Crying at Dollywood with Justin Kirkland | 118

Dolly Parton fandom has reached new heights over the last few years. Her admirers run the gamut: From city slickers to small town folk, conservative churches to RuPaul’s Drag Race. But she’s always been Dolly. So why all the love and appreciation now? Culture writer Justin Kirkland joins Brooke and Aricia to unpack Dolly’s recent spike in popularity, how meeting Dolly set him up for a career in journalism, and what was going on when she tried to turn down a spot in the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame?!

Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is). Because as Queen Elizabeth once said, “A good gossip is a wonderful tonic.”Listen to Even The Rich on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
