Hey, this is Jad here with Simole Yayi and last time we talked to you in this feed it was all about Dolly Parton, but we actually have a new project that just came out.
Yeah.Like the Dolly series, it revolves around one person, but unlike Dolly, it's someone that you might've never heard of.
Starts with music, but then it goes into all of these other places, kind of a constellation of stories, a lot like Dolly Parton's America.
Yeah.In fact, why don't we just play the promo?
Let's do it. This is the story of a man who changed your world.
Oh, wow.See, I would have claimed this brother right here.This dude, good God, why don't we have like three movies about this dude?Record owner, lawyer.I mean, he's like the vocational MacGyver.This is how America invades the world.
Like this is the greatest music of all time.But then.It's like poof.
Somebody pretending to be somebody that they're not.I need to think about why, but when Neshima was telling me the story, all I could think was, oh, that's the white boy right there.
That's hilarious to me.I don't know what he is talking about.This looks like a black man to me.I want you to see what I see.Once I was at a festival and some guy came up to me and he said, what are you?What are you?
My parents put me in front of a mirror.They said that I asked, what am I?
It's the story of an American riddle.
Wrapped in a family secret.It's a mystery.
The Vanishing of Harry Pace.
A new miniseries from the people that brought you Dolly Parton's America.
Jadaboomrod.And Shemoley I. Listen now at Radiolab.
If you liked Dolly Parton's America, the way we tried to see so much history and culture and music through this one icon, I think you'll like this too.
So far, three episodes have come out and we've got three more coming in the next three weeks.So anyway, just search The Vanishing of Harry Pace Radiolab and you should be able to find it.
