Today we’re dressed in star spangled cowgirl and cowboy fits to honour the world’s most shining, trailblazing, bold southern belle diva; the phenomenal Dolly Parton.

Episode 66 features our first ever theatre director and intimacy coordinator Heidi Gledhill. Heidi gets what it means to take up space as a creative, as a celeb in your own right, and as someone who doesn’t shy away from their voice and sass. Heidi brings every bit of that to the diva sphere and then some.

We pay tribute to the legendary Dolly Parton, the divinegoddess, godmother of us all, the girl who grew up with nothing in Tennessee and gave 300 million books back to the world through the Imagination Library. We dive into the life and times of the woman who entered her own lookalike contest, made herself more drag, and still lost. Who wrote "I Will Always Love You" before Whitney made it hers. Who had a song locked in a box for her 100th birthday. Who was so secure in herself she could wear whatever the hell she wanted and mean every inch of it. We speak on all she meant, all she built, and all she leaves behind.

We also get deep into intimacy coordinating and directing andwhat it actually is, why it only came about after the Harvey Weinstein movement, why it's newer than gay marriage, and why the industry could not have needed it more. This conversation is important and Heidi makes it fascinating.

Dolly. We miss you. The cowboy boots were for you.
