Nothing Available to be Dislodged

Almost nothing about Dolly Parton actually changed over six decades. And yet the world's relationship to her transformed completely. This episode examines why, and the answer has almost nothing to do with Dolly, and almost everything to do with what she was standing on.

This is an episode about values clarity: a motivational concept, and also structural integrity. The kind that means external pressures of skepticism, mean-spirited jokes and the people invested in you staying exactly as you are do not find anything loose to grab onto.
