This week Danny and Tyler cover Dolly Parton's most-covered song: "Jolene," from the 1974 album of the same name. One can't overstate Dolly's importance to country music, but we do our best to cram as much gushing as we can into an hour. And along the way we talk about Dolly Parton's Stampede, Dolly's famous origin story, and the enduring legacy of other hits like "I Will Always Love You" and "9 to 5"--plus an awkward cameo from Tyler's cats!
Listen to Jolene and the rest of our ultimate country playlist here:

San Francisco’s school board is facing a recall as parent anger boils over about school closures and efforts to promote ‘equity.' What does this fight tell us about our national debates about covid restrictions, critical race theory, and teacher’s unions? Ravi interviews parents and experts -- and even sits down with the school board’s chair (a target of the recall) to discuss what’s driving frustration and why it’s a cautionary tale for progressives.

Ravi Gupta, Micky Ayoub, Joseph Engelbrekt, Sarah Moller,

The internationally renowned cellist Steven Isserlis talks to Andrew Marr about his companion guide to The Bach Cello Suites. Isserlis explores why Bach’s Six Suites have become some of the most cherished music, and how Bach takes the audience on a spiritual journey, from joy, through tragedy, to jubilation.
Schubert’s heart-breaking song-cycle Winterreise tells of a young man’s desperate wanderings: the music and the poems creating images of fire and snow, of scalding and frozen tears. The baritone Benjamin Appl, accompanied by James Baillieu, stars in a new BBC film, Winter Journey, filmed in a tower on the snow-covered summit of the Julierpass in south-east Switzerland. An album of the music will be released in February.
The composer and pianist Kate Whitley is also interested in the importance of place in music. But she has taken a different tack, eschewing the often rarefied atmosphere of concert halls, for the concrete heart of city centres. She runs The Multi-Storey Orchestra which performs in car parks around the UK.

Sometime within the next week of my recording this episode, hopefully, a rocket will be launched from the European Space Agency’s launch facility in French Guyana.
On it will be NASA’s latest and greatest space telescope. It is unlike anything which has ever been launched into space before, and if successful, it will allow us to see further than we ever have.
Learn more about the James Webb Space Telescope and how it will radically advance astronomy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What sequence of events led Hong Kong to lose its long-held status as a liberal enclave of China? What drove its population to rise up against its government and confront Beijing? And why did China’s rulers decide to effectively put an end to the freedoms guaranteed under the One-Country-Two-Systems arrangement by imposing in June 2020 a draconian National Security Law designed to eliminate any political opposition that has already led to hundreds of arrests?
In Defying the Dragon: Hong Kong and the World’s Largest Dictatorship (Hurst, 2021), the prominent Hong Kong journalist and broadcaster Stephen Vines offers a blow-by-blow account of the 2019-2020 protest movement. The books details the emergence of an increasingly assertive and defiant Hong Kong political identity, the collapse of trust in the Beijing-anointed government, the PRC’s increasingly hands-on assertion of its sovereignty over the territory, and the deteriorating relationship between the West and an overly confident but inwardly insecure Chinese state.
