Dolly Parton’s Legacy, Taylor Swift’s Icon Interview + Below Deck Med’s Nathan Gallagher

Send us Fan MailThe world continues to mourn Dolly Parton. I reflect on her remarkable legacy, the Imagination Library, the fortune she chose to give away and her family’s request that fans honor her by helping put books into children’s hands. I also discuss the presidential order lowering flags to half-staff and why there will simply never be another Dolly.Then, Taylor Swift looks back at 20 years of songwriting during her full Recording Academy Icon Sessions interview, while she and Travis Kelce reportedly honor Dolly’s legacy with a major donation to the Imagination Library.Also in today’s pop-culture catch-up: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrive in the United Kingdom with Archie and Lilibet; HBO Max releases the first teaser for Season 3 of The Pitt; members of the Heroes cast reunite to celebrate Hayden Panettiere’s life; and Dan Stevens lands the title role in Amazon Prime Video’s new RoboCop series.Finally, I discuss the latest episode of Below Deck Mediterranean and why watching Nathan Gallagher feels very different in light of the serious domestic-violence charges reported in Australia. I also cover the arrest of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s 15-year-old son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. These allegations involve minors and remain unproven; an arrest is not a conviction.If you would like to honor Dolly Parton, learn more about or donate to her book-gifting program at ImaginationLibrary.com.Resources:RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: Call 800-656-HOPE (4673) or visit RAINN.org.National Domestic Violence Hotline: Call 800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788 or visit TheHotline.org.Have a thought, correction or story I need to cover?
