0:00Pod Squad, on Tuesday, the world lost Dolly Parton.
0:06It is hard to imagine a world without Dolly in it.
0:09For generations, she showed us what it looks like to be completely, unapologetically yourself, and to use what you have to make life a little more beautiful for everybody else.
0:20She gave us her songs, her stories, her humor, her generosity, and her courage.
0:26She made millions of us feel like she belonged to us somehow.
0:30Like she really was everybody's Aunt Dolly.
0:34We were incredibly lucky to sit down with her a few years ago, and today we want to share that conversation with you again.
0:42With Dolly, we talked about mothering the world, beginning again at any age, and the heartbreaking decision to say no when Elvis wanted to record I Will Always Love You, because saying yes would have meant giving away a piece of herself she knew she needed to keep.
0:59At the end of the episode, we told Dolly, you being yourself on purpose for so long in front of us has allowed all of us to be more of ourselves on purpose.
