How Ella Langley Won the Electoral College of Culture
About this episode
Audie discusses the cultural implications of the song 'Choosin’ Texas' and its reception in the music industry.
"Choosin’ Texas" broke the Billboard charts – so why can’t we all agree it’s the Song of Summer? Audie breaks down why the answer may say more about the state of the music industry than Ella Langley. Plus: Boy Throb is Ari’s latest summer music obsession, and he doesn’t care if it’s a psyop. Like what you heard? Sign up for our newsletter to catch up on the latest trends, obsessions and culture.
