Dolly Parton’s America.
If, unlike US President Donald Trump, you don’t have the power to lower flags across your country to half-mast for a week, we suggest instead marking the passing of American national treasure Dolly Parton by listening to WNYC’s podcast series Dolly Parton’s America.
Released in 2019, the nine-episode account of how the country music legend beat the odds to bring together Americans of every social, political, and cultural stratum is as relevant now as it was then — and is sure to make you, like it did this reporter, a fan for life.
