Today on Radiolab, we’re bringing you the fourth episode of Jad’s special series, Dolly Parton’s America. In this episode, Jad goes back up the mountain to visit Dolly’s actual Tennessee mountain home, where she tells stories about her first trips out of the holler. Back on the mountaintop, standing under the rain by the Little Pigeon River, the trip triggers memories of Jad’s first visit to his father’s childhood home, and opens the gateway to dizzying stories of music and migration.
