Dolly Parton to feature on new podcast series this autumn

The country icon will co-host the new podcast series with Radiolab's Jad Abumrad.

Announcing the new project on Twitter, Abumrad wrote, "She’s been called the "Great Unifier" for her rare ability to bring people together across divides. What does Dolly Parton's story tell us about America? I’ve been going back home to Nashvlle to figure it out. "Dolly Parton’s America," 9-part pod series, this fall."

Last month Dolly Parton looked keen to jump on a new remix of Lil Nas X's record-breaking hit "Old Town Road".

Rolling Stone reported last month that Dolly Parton is also producing eight new films for Netflix that are inspired by the country legend’s hit singles.
