I’m only to 1980. I hope Justin undergoes another giant endeavor like this one bc I will miss...”Read full review »

“I just started listening to this podcast a week or so ago and that is why I said I am late to the “Parton”. I have always been a fan of Dolly as a performer and as a woman and as a role model but I will admit I never listened to her music a lot. I just knew the big songs; and yes I knew she...”Read full review »

“Such a fun podcast! Plus the subject matter is perfect.
Just read “Run Rose Run” with James Paterson. Excellent read!
Reminded me of Dolly’s life, I think.
Not sure if this is so I or not.
I could do see her doing a movie like this as the person narrating her life.”

“I love Dolly, so I jumped in without noticing that the episodes are short. The trouble with short episodes on Wondery is the staggering number of ads. They squeeze the same number into a short show as a long show. Nope, not paying for a subscription, and not wasting brain cells constantly...”Read full review »

“I stayed listening to this amazing podcast and am loving each episode. The reason being is that it discusses the world of Dolly, but isn’t just a “fan knowledge” cast. It really is interesting to hear about her journey, her intelligence and her heart. Which all come through her work!”

“Just finishing my binge of Justin’s year with Dolly, and I feel like we’re old friends, hanging at the kitchen table with a beer, chitchatting about a lady we both admire and love. The episode with his Dad is so special - heartfelt and genuine. Thanks for taking me along on your journey 💗”

He brought my love for Dolly to a new level. So crack open or pop a top and be nice - listen as you roll along day...”Read full review »

“Justin does a great job of diving into Dolly - I love the segments he does and each asleep t of her life. My only issue with it is his voice sounds so robotic and odd, I get that he’s reading from a script and that’s how it’s going to sound, I was just used to his relaxed voice from other media....”Read full review »
