[CW: Child abuse.] Sadly, we recently lost the talented and radical Sinead O'Connor. On today's episode we pay tribute to O'Connor's iconic music and acts of protest—plus we share times when O'Connor covered country music and was embraced by the country music community. Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, and more all have a part to play in this episode. Also, we pay our respects to the hilarious and influential Paul Reubens, who we learned passed away right before recording. Thanks for listening.
