Oct 22 2024 74 mins  
Recorded back in April, an in depth discussion of the emergence of Neo-Neo Traditional Country sound, a term we may have unknowingly coined on this podcast in October of 2022.

Part 1 of 2 part discussion ahead of "Act II: Cowboy Carter" release. The biggest question everyone has been asking about Beyoncé’s latest music has been: "Is it Country?"

A bonus mini-episode this week from our Midnight Mastermind guest spot on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. It’s a nightly segment on OJ Borg’s show where random guests quiz him on their expert topic.
