Podcasting 2.0 August 28th 2026 Episode 269 - "Verbal Pollution" Shownotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - DATABASE SURGERY WEEK — AND THE THIRD EMERGENCY OF THE MONTH The lead, and it's Dave's: Saturday 22 Aug — "#api I'm in the middle of a big refactor with the Podcast Index database schema. If I do my job right, nobody will notice it. But, the side effect will be an overall huge increase in the consistency of the data (duplicates, url change lag, etc)." @dave — the big schema refactor (22 Aug) Wednesday night: "Podcast Index database surgery will begin in the morning." Thursday: "Step 1. Expect a brief api outage. It should last just a few minutes." — then "Done" — then "#api Adding a very large table index..." — and finally, Thursday evening: "Finished. Butt is intact." (6 favourites. The board's favourite status update of the month.) What Adam should ask: what actually changed under the hood, what does "consistency" buy an app developer in practice, and is there anything a host or an app should do differently now that duplicates and url-change lag are being cleaned up?

Hour 4 (8.25) She wrote it in a little girl's voice. Sandy knocks on a stranger's door in a storm holding her puppy, asking for a bed. Dolly Parton died Tuesday at 80, and this is the song people are playing. 9:05 — "Me and Little Andy," 1977. Dolly wrote it and sang Sandy's lines in a child's voice — a girl "not more than six or seven," out in the cold with a dog named Little Andy, asking if there's an extra bed. It was the B-side of "Here You Come Again" and it still wrecks a room. The childhood behind it, and why she never once complained about it. 9:20 — What she built out of that: 25 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, the most ever by a woman, plus 55 top 10s and 113 charted songs — the last one a duet with Sabrina Carpenter at 79. 9:35 — Reps confirmed to PEOPLE she died Tuesday in Nashville at 80 after a brief battle with cancer. President Trump ordered the flag lowered nationwide for a week. 9:50 — The more you give, the more blessings come back. She meant it, and the reaction is proving it.

Hour 1 (8.25) Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville at 80, and by 6 p.m. the American flag was coming down nationwide for a week. Twenty-five No. 1 country hits. Nobody ever did it like her. 6:05 — Her reps confirmed to PEOPLE that Parton died Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer; the type was not disclosed. President Trump ordered the American flag lowered across the country for one week, beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday. 6:20 — The numbers behind the Queen of Country: 25 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart — a female record, per Guinness — plus 55 top 10s and 113 total entries on that chart. Then the crossovers: "9 to 5" and "Islands in the Stream" with Kenny Rogers. 6:35 — A brutally poor childhood she never once complained about, and the song that proves what she did with it. "Me and Little Andy," 1977: Dolly wrote it and sang it in a child's voice as Sandy, a girl "not more than six or seven" who knocks on a stranger's door in a storm holding her puppy. It was the B-side of "Here You Come Again." It still wrecks people. 6:50 — She lived by a motto: the more you give, the more blessings come back. Why this one is hitting people so much harder than they expected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anita Baker's second album, “Rapture,” was released in 1986 and became a breakout hit for the R & B singer from Detroit, winning two Grammys and selling eight million copies worldwide. The album's eight tracks defined her signature sound — what Baker liked to call “fireside love songs with jazz overtones” — and solidified her as a giant of the Quiet Storm radio era. But while the singer went on to produce four more albums, most notably her follow-up, “Giving You the Best That I Got,” in 1988, she hasn't maintained the mainstream presence of her “Rapture” years. Today, Wesley wonders: Is Baker underrated, properly rated, or just kind of … forgotten? He brings these questions to Danyel Smith, former editor at Billboard and editor in chief of Vibe Magazine. Together, they luxuriate in Anita Baker's “Rapture” while wrestling with her legacy. Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Have you ever noticed a song that seems to follow you through your record collection, appearing in different forms across decades and genres? This episode explores the fascinating journey of "It Ain't Easy", a song that found a home in the repertoire of David Bowie, Three Dog Night, Long John Baldry, Mitch Ryder, Shelby Lynne and more. We trace the song back to its source: Ron Davies, a prolific but often-overlooked songwriter who came out of the Pacific Northwest garage rock scene. Despite never reaching the top of the Billboard charts himself, Davies created a song with musical bones so strong that it transitioned seamlessly from the glam-rock harpsichord of Bowie's sessions to the stripped-back folk of Chris Smither. We take a look at the specific production touches of the most significant versions, including the "all-star" original recording featuring Leon Russell and Jim Keltner. We discuss the tragic "lost" sessions of Bettye LaVette at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, the Rolling Stones-style swagger of Claudia Lennear's version (featuring Ry Cooder), and even modern interpretations by The Raconteurs and Alexis P. Suter. Whether filtered through blues, country, glam, or soul, "It Ain't Easy" remains a masterclass in songwriting consistency. Join us as we explore the lifespan of a track that proved a great song doesn't need to be a commercial smash to become a timeless classic. "It Ain't Easy" Ron Davies Copyright 1970 Irving Music Inc.

Cash The Record Vol. 7: Tupac Shakur — What Is His Signature Song? Tupac Shakur doesn't have one obvious signature song. He has nine legitimate candidates, and none of them agree with each other. In this episode, John Cash runs all nine — California Love, Dear Mama, Changes, Hail Mary, Brenda's Got A Baby, I Get Around, Keep Ya Head Up, How Do U Want It, and Hit 'Em Up — through the Cash The Record five-question rubric to determine which song actually defines who Tupac was. Along the way: the Library of Congress honor that made "Dear Mama" the first solo hip-hop record in American history preserved as a national treasure. The Vatican's surprising endorsement of "Changes." The lawsuit "How Do U Want It" triggered from a national civil rights activist. And the strangest stat of the episode — a Tupac song that never charted once while he was alive, and debuted on Billboard nearly thirty years after its release. Real fans weigh in with their own picks (and get roasted for it). Nine songs get graded, eliminated, and ranked. And by the end, one verdict stands — with the chart data, certifications, and cultural history to defend it. Subscribe to Cash The Record for a new episode every month. Next up: Beyoncé. Topics covered: Tupac Shakur discography, Dear Mama Billboard history, California Love chart facts, Changes Grammy nomination, Hail Mary Don Killuminati, hip-hop signature songs, 2Pac legacy, RIAA certifications, Library of Congress National Recording Registry, hip-hop history podcast.

Some people celebrate birthdays with dignity. The Rizzuto Show celebrates them with sarcastic greeting cards, giant pastries, smoked deviled eggs, Italian rainbow cookies and a handcrafted pasta spoon featuring Tommy Wiseau.Welcome to Episode 201 of The Rizzuto Show, the comedy podcast where turning 48 apparently means your coworkers get unlimited permission to remind you that death is approaching.The show kicks off with some completely normal DuckTales appreciation before Lern proposes the crew go see Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot and Great White. That immediately becomes a scheduling nightmare involving Rafe's Funny Bone weekend, Moon playing Valley Park Fall Fest and Rizz trying to figure out whether everybody can somehow attend three events simultaneously. Also, Moon may or may not have dreamed about Sebastian Bach. His dreams apparently have continuity now, so that's something everyone has to live with.Then Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Which is none.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.From there, Crap on Celebrities brings another avalanche of entertainment news. The crew gets into Slipknot and Sid Wilson, Stray Kids dominating the Billboard charts, the debate surrounding a potential Asian pop Grammy category, and Frankie Valli continuing to perform at 92 — which leads everyone to wonder whether Frankie is enthusiastically choosing the stage or operating entirely on decades of muscle memory.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.Then somebody pays $192,000 for Sophia Petrillo's purse from The Golden Girls, because apparently having money is exhausting and eventually you simply run out of normal things to buy.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.And somehow that's still not the most disrespectful conversation of the episode.Because it's Rizz's birthday.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.It's heartfelt. It's insulting. It's carb-heavy.In other words, it's the perfect Rizz Show birthday.Hair metal, ridiculous movie theories, entertainment gossip, comedy talk, celebrity arguments and enough birthday shenanigans to make HR quietly close its laptop — Episode 201 is another completely normal comedy podcast from St. Louis.If you've ever wondered what happens when grown adults combine Sebastian Bach, The Goonies, Brad Pitt, Tommy Wiseau and Italian cookies into one morning show, congratulations.

On today's all new cast, we take a look at the nu-metal acts that adorned the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks charts way back in the day, and further examine how these acts made an impact on the charts in the late 90's and early 00's. We revisit bands such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, and Papa Roach who made an immediate impact on the charts with their early hits and how it started a movement that was intertwined with MTV's TRL and connected with the youth of that time with everything going on in their lives. We talk about some criticisms of the genre itself, including one where a Pitchfork critic said that it was a turning point in the chart's history and it became loathed by people alike for its cringe worthiness. I also play you Papa Roach's hit "Scars" at the end of the cast that also became their biggest crossover hit on the Hot 100 as well.

Robbie Seay started a band called Zion in high school near Houston Texas, went to Baylor where he met David Crowder and helped plant a church, fronted the Robbie Seay Band on Sparrow Records with a Billboard charting song, and then made a decision that a lot of people would not have made. He stepped back from the spotlight to pour into other worship leaders through his work at The Worship Initiative.In this conversation Robbie and Bryan talk about:How God pairs passion with ability and why that combination is not an accidentWhat it was like to have the thing so many worship leaders are chasing and then lay it downThe Musician Minister and Multiplier framework and why most worship leaders get stuck in just one laneWhy the local church was always the through line even during the recording artist yearsThe science of singing and why what worship leaders do matters more than they realizeHow tools like Sing for Churches and Psallo are helping worship leaders disciple their people all week long not just on SundayThis one is for every worship leader who has ever wondered which lane they are actually called to and what it looks like to walk in all three.Check out: Sing for ChurchesCheck out Psallo Join Sing Follow The Worship Initiative Join the free Called to Music Facebook Community

Have you ever noticed a song that seems to follow you through your record collection, appearing in different forms across decades and genres? This episode explores the fascinating journey of "It Ain't Easy", a song that found a home in the repertoire of David Bowie, Three Dog Night, Long John Baldry, Mitch Ryder, Shelby Lynne and more. We trace the song back to its source: Ron Davies, a prolific but often-overlooked songwriter who came out of the Pacific Northwest garage rock scene. Despite never reaching the top of the Billboard charts himself, Davies created a song with musical bones so strong that it transitioned seamlessly from the glam-rock harpsichord of Bowie's sessions to the stripped-back folk of Chris Smither. We take a look at the specific production touches of the most significant versions, including the "all-star" original recording featuring Leon Russell and Jim Keltner. We discuss the tragic "lost" sessions of Bettye LaVette at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, the Rolling Stones-style swagger of Claudia Lennear's version (featuring Ry Cooder), and even modern interpretations by The Raconteurs and Alexis P. Suter. Whether filtered through blues, country, glam, or soul, "It Ain't Easy" remains a masterclass in songwriting consistency. Join us as we explore the lifespan of a track that proved a great song doesn't need to be a commercial smash to become a timeless classic. "It Ain't Easy" Ron Davies Copyright 1970 Irving Music Inc.

Katy Faust of Them Before Us ‘No Child Has Two Moms' Is Controversial Only In An Anti-Child Society Pro-Child Politics: Why Every Cultural, Economic, and National Issue Is a Matter of Justice for Children Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City Them Before Us Them Before Us: Why We Need a Global Children’s Rights Movement The Greater Than CampaignThe post Responding to Criticism of a Pro-Natural Family Billboard Campaign – Katy Faust, 8/12/26 (2241) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Miist was five years old when her parents removed themselves from her life. Not through death — through choice. As she tells me in this episode, that distinction made the wound deeper, not shallower. She knew they could come back. They simply didn't.By 28, she had a terminal cancer diagnosis and doctors telling her she had a month, maybe three. And here's the part that stopped me: she still doesn't hold any bad feeling toward that diagnosis. It's the thing that finally brought her family back into the room with her.She picked up a ukulele during treatment. She didn't write her first song until she was 34. Today her music has charted on Billboard, she's the first native Chinese artist to reach the Pop AC chart, and she hosts a top-ranked mental health podcast.This conversation goes somewhere I didn't expect. We talk about loneliness after loss — the grief that arrives with no funeral, no casserole, no one checking in — and what it actually takes to come back from it.Miist wrote a song for a young man who passed alone in his apartment in Japan. He had food. He had shelter. He had nobody. She kept thinking about all the strangers he must have walked past on any given day, and how one moment of real eye contact might have been enough to hold him a little longer. That song, "Could You Lend Me a Smile," now exists in 16 languages.Out of it came the idea we spend much of this episode on: the 15-second action. Small enough that nobody can claim they don't have time. Smile at someone. Be silly. Be grateful. Say a kind word. Remind someone that you love them.We recorded this on my 65th birthday, which made one part land hard for me. Miist asked when the last time was that someone called you for no reason at all, just to say they love you. I told her about the most viral Substack post I've ever written — it was about calling my father on an ordinary day, for no occasion. It went everywhere because almost nobody does it.WHAT WE COVERWhy abandonment can cut deeper than death, and how the earliest wound becomes the root of everything built on top of itHow Miist pushed away her closest childhood friends, and the apology she eventually wrote as a songChoosing, in advance, to sit inside the grief of losing her dog rather than reaching for anything that would make it stopThe three days she asked her vet for, and what her whole family learned from themReconnecting with and forgiving the father she hadn't seen in over 20 yearsBeing discovered by producer Narada Michael Walden — and being asked to sing at the piano where Aretha Franklin recorded "Respect"The Kindness Kube and the five actions on itUsing music intentionally to move through anger, sadness, and back toward joyWhy losing an old habit that no longer serves you can feel like its own kind of lossWhy both of us say plainly: we are still healingABOUT MIISTMiist is a multilingual recording artist, songwriter, and podcast host who began her professional music career at 34 after being discovered by acclaimed producer Narada Michael Walden. She's a Teen Cancer America Ambassador and the founder of the World Smile Initiative, a nonprofit built around bringing moments of relief and light to people who are struggling. Her podcast, Make Me Smile with Miist, blends original music, personal storytelling, and research, and each episode closes with a 15-second action listeners can take that day. The book of the same name is now available.

On Friday, it was announced that Sophia would be taking a step back from KATSEYE to prioritize her “mental health and wellness,” following a similar announcement from her groupmate Manon back in February. Now the six-person global girl group is down to a quartet — and it's unclear when either member might return to the fold, especially after a six-month absence for Manon. The news comes at a particularly busy time for KATSEYE, with their Wild album arriving on Friday and their Wildworld Tour — the group's first global trek — kicking off in October. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing the announcement and what it means for the group's future. Will both women return, or might they remain a quartet?

A golfer allegedly fakes a hole-in-one for thousands of dollars using a sick-grandma phone call as cover, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's nonsense.The Rizzuto Show is back with another funny podcast packed with St. Louis chaos, celebrity gossip, questionable decisions, movie arguments, music trivia, and the sort of stories that make you wonder how we've managed to keep microphones this long.The main event comes straight out of the St. Louis area, where a member golf tournament at WingHaven Country Club reportedly turned into an elaborate hole-in-one caper. According to the story, a golfer told his group that his grandma was in the hospital and he might need to step away for an important phone call. Totally understandable. Very wholesome. Absolutely nothing suspicious happening here.Then the call arrives near a par-three hole.He heads up alone, supposedly hits his tee shot while nobody is watching, and when everyone reaches the green… would you look at that? His ball is IN THE HOLE.A hole-in-one! What a miracle! Grandma must be so proud!There's just one tiny problem: cameras.The crew digs into the allegations that surveillance footage caught the golfer visiting the hole before the round, creating a divot and putting a ball in the cup. Suddenly, Grandma's hospital call becomes one of the most aggressively suspicious excuses in golf history. With reports that the hole-in-one pot may have been around $9,000, the guys debate the most important question: how much money does it take before you're willing to risk becoming the guy who allegedly invented a medical emergency for Grandma to cheat at golf?From there, this funny podcast moves naturally into the next logical subject: whether Jonah Hill could annihilate everyone in a fight.Hill's Brazilian jiu-jitsu confidence gets the Rizz Show treatment as the guys debate martial arts, celebrity bravado, Michael Cera's hypothetical fighting abilities and why the people who could actually fold you into a carry-on bag are usually the least interested in telling everybody about it.We also celebrate Missouri's birthday with a rundown of inventions, foods and famous names tied to the Show-Me State. Toasted ravioli? Obviously. Gooey butter cake? Put some respect on it. The microchip? Apparently Missouri has been doing a little more than deep-frying carbohydrates this whole time.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with another truckload of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary. Mark Zuckerberg's massive yacht gets dragged into controversy after a stranded boat reportedly needed help in Alaska. Britney Spears warns fans about a bad Botox experience. The crew gets into movie box-office numbers, Spider-Man, Super Troopers, Bugonia, Weapons and The Dink, because apparently nobody can simply say “I liked the movie” without turning it into a federal hearing.There's also Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave discussing the surprising money she's making on OnlyFans without nudity, Blink-182 heading back into the studio, Five Nights at Freddy's becoming an actual immersive restaurant experience, and a debate over the greatest new wave singers that quickly proves nobody is completely sure where “new wave” begins or ends.Add in Bob Marley's ridiculous Billboard longevity, the biggest-selling albums of all time, celebrity birthdays and the usual collection of side quests, arguments and unnecessary observations, and you've got another daily dose of The Rizzuto Show.It's celebrity news, weird news, St. Louis stories and sarcastic humor crammed into one comedy podcast — because apparently discussing an alleged fake hole-in-one for this long is considered a profession.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Between the village of Anwick and the town of Sleaford in Lincolnshire, England, lies a farmhouse.It is at this farmhouse that our journey begins.Robert is a stockman on a farm. Daphne is his wife. Their little boy, Bernie, is born in that little farmhouse by lantern light because the house is much older than electricity.When Bernie is five years old, his father is promoted to farm manager, and they are moved into a house with electric lights.Bernie thinks, “Now we are living the good life.”He leaves school at 15, but his mother has given him a love for literature and her father “Poppy” has injected him with a love for nature and narrative poetry.Bernie sends a few of his poems to a music publisher in London who is looking for song lyrics.That same publisher is talking to a young man named Reggie who is looking for a way to leave “Bluesology,” a mediocre local band that plays songs while the patrons of local restaurants eat fish and chips. Reggie says to the publisher, “I'm very good with music, but I can't write lyrics. I'm hopeless.”The publisher responds by handing Reggie an unopened envelope that he snatches from the top of the pile on his desk. He says to Reggie, “See what you can do with that and get back to me.”Neither Bernie nor Reggie are accepted by the music publisher, but they are accepted by each other. Bernie mails poems to Reggie in London, and Reggie writes the music that turns Bernie's poems into songs.You have heard many of these songs, I'm sure.According to Jordan Runtagh,“‘Rocket Man,' ‘Honky Cat,' ‘Crocodile Rock' and ‘Daniel' all immediately shot into the Top 10 in rapid succession. By 1975, they were responsible for 2 percent of all records sold on the entire planet. That same year they released Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, which became the first LP in history to debut at the top of the Billboard chart.”Reggie is Captain Fantastic and his farmboy friend Bernie is the Brown Dirt Cowboy.Reggie knows, of course, that he is unlikely to become famous as Reggie Dwight, so he creates a new name from the names of his former bandmates, Elton Dean and John Baldry.As “Elton John,” Reggie writes the tunes that make Bernie's poems famous around the world. Some of those tunes are “Your Song,” “Levon,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” “The Bitch is Back,” “I'm Still Standing,” and “I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues.”In 1973, Bernie was traveling to concerts with always high, out-of-control Elton, doing the job each day of all the king's horses and all the king's men by “putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.”When the Brown Dirt Cowboy decided that he didn't want to do it anymore, he wrote his brother a letter of departure:“When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm. I should have listened to my old man. You know you can't hold me forever. I didn't sign up with you. I'm not a present for your friends to open. This boy's too young to be singing the blues. So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl. You can't plant me in your penthouse. I'm going back to my plow. Back to the howling old owl in the woods hunting the horny back toad. I've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road.”“What do you think you'll do then? I bet they'll shoot down the plane. It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again. Maybe you'll get a replacement. There's plenty like me to be found, mongrels who ain't got a penny sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground.”Reggie Dwight did what he always did. He wrote a tune and sang what Bernie had written.In the days when an album that sold a million copies was a “Gold Record,” Reggie and Bernie's album, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” sold 30 million copies.A few years ago, Bernie Taupin spoke of the “inseverable bond” of brotherhood that he and Elton have shared for 60 years.“In the insanity of our lives, there's nothing better than the times when we get to sit down, just together. Like those moments in the dressing room, about a half an hour before he goes on, when I'll go in and see him and there's nobody else in there, and it's just he and I. The calm before the storm. It all comes back. When we're just alone with each other, it seems like a frozen capsule of time that everything we've ever done together inhabits. That's magical to me.”Bernie, I think I speak for a lot of other people when I say that your partnership is magical for us, as well.Roy H. Williams

When Madonna's new album, “Confessions II,” dropped in early July, it went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 (her 10th No. 1 album). Many of the 16 tracks plumb her own history for lessons learned along the way. On “Bizarre,” the blue Shelby Cobra she gave her first husband, Sean Penn, “wasn't meant to last.” On “The Test,” she tells her daughter Lola Leon, with whom she sings: “I wish I knew the pain I've caused.” And on “Danceteria,” she takes us to the New York City clubs of the 1980s and the moment when a D.J. “played my tape ‘Everybody' ” and launched her career. Wesley Morris describes the album as “post-nostalgia,” with Madonna using an idea of her past as a slingshot into some kind of future. “Confessions II” is also a dance record that reminds us of the impact she has had on club culture and gay culture. Wesley sits down with one of the biggest Madonna fans he knows — Jacob Bernstein, a writer for The Times's Styles section and a former club kid in New York City — to talk about her new record and the immense influence Madonna has had on their lives.

In 2016, Mitski did an episode of Song Exploder about her song “Your Best American Girl.” She had just released her second album, Puberty 2. Later, Pitchfork named “Your Best American Girl” one of the top 10 best songs of the past decade, and Billboard named it as one of the songs that defined the decade. And in honor of the 10th anniversary of the album, there's a new deluxe version that's out digitally, and a limited edition vinyl is coming in October. I thought this would be a good time to revisit Mitski's episode, where she and her collaborator Patrick Hyland break down how “Your Best American Girl” was made. To learn more, visit songexploder.net/mitski
