“I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is one of the best I’ve heard. It is fantastically produced. A fine balance of personal, business, musical. So many links made to Dolly, background just when you needed it and the right amount. The show made such a strong emotional connection and yet...”Read full review »

“I loved listening to Dolly Parton tell stories. I did not enjoy listening to the hosts. It is so special how Dolly is able to have a very diverse audience. The hosts seemed to give a lot of pressure for her to speak up politically. They seemed very closed minded and negative. I think it is...”Read full review »

“Super boring premise. Yes Dolly Parton is obviously amazing but the whole podcast seems like the host is showing off the fact that he’s friends with her
The show is annoying because the host can’t stop being amazed by his own soft sense of wonder like he’s a more boring version of Ira Glass....”Read full review »

“This podcast pays respect to where Dolly has come from, how she got where she is and why she is the Patron Saint of the State of TN. Well-rounded interesting podcast that doesn’t just say “oh the South.””

“After the first few episodes the narrative was guided into a completely different direction and a left-leaning agenda was heavily pushed onto the listener. I just wanted to a podcast about Dolly and nothing else.”

“I have enjoyed this glimpse into Dolly Parton and the next generation of fans. Deeper thoughts and interesting perspectives are great. A lighthearted look at hard things.
You totally lost me when a guest music guru decided to rewrite Jolene into a homo-erotic mess. Even the Dolly on the podcast...”Read full review »

“By the second episode I was hooked I thought I knew a whole lot about Dolly but I guess I was so very wrong I finished the whole show about 10 times and I only new its existence for about a week Dolly has always been my hero but now she is like a legend (porter did not treat her right) ❤️❤️👢”

“I binged all 7 episodes on a cross country road trip. So engaged I blew past my scheduled hotel stop & kept driving until the last episode was over. ( Which left me looking for a hotel in no where Texas at 1am). I thought I knew everything there was to know about Dolly but I clearly did not....”Read full review »

From an academic stating that Dolly doesn’t call herself a feminist simply because she’s not educated enough, to the ravings of political zealots furious that...”Read full review »

“Dolly Parton, as we can know her, is a musical genius and a brand. Dolly Parton the Person is elusive and contradictory. While I appreciate the podcast-makers’ passion for seeing Dolly as an apolitical world healer, she’s a tycoon who will continue to amass fortunes even after death. On that...”Read full review »

“For the most part this is an incredible podcast. Trying to pin Dolly down on her politics was very off putting. There was a level of disrespect there that was uncalled for. Why should she have to speak out for what you think she should say? The Dollitics episode was a dark spot in the series....”Read full review »

“You’re awesome Dolly. I am a 12 year old girl who is having a rough childhood. I have faced racism and sexism. I am trying to pursue o dream of mine to be a biologist, author, and a singer. You have inspired me so much. I sing your song 9 to 5 every morning. Thanks Dolly!”

“I think anyone who enjoyed this podcast would really like the audiobook Dolly Parton wrote and narrated titled Songteller. There are some similar themes/stories discussed in that book. I liked parts of this podcast, but the hosts inserted themselves into the story a bit too much for my tastes.”
