Country Music

On this episode, we’re yeeing and hawing all about country music! With Beyoncé’s country album forthcoming, Vannotes gives Wren the rundown on country music and its history. We talk about the dynamics of the industry vs. its performers, country music posers, and Van’s connection to Loretta Lynn. Will Van convert Wren from an “I like all music, but country” girlie? Listen to find out!

Also in this episode:

• Wren is up-to-date on RuPaul’s Drag Race and now knows what everyone’s talking about
• We discuss the New Yorker article (so fancy) “A Professor Claimed to Be Native American. Did She Know She Wasn’t?” by Jay Caspian Kang
• Van opens Jigsaw’s Junk Drawer and we play a game of “Your Pal’s Trash - Music Edition”
• We come up with the clickbait article “Lizzo Hates Babies”
