<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Joining Palmer are esteemed guests <strong><em>Andrea Williams</em></strong>, best-selling author and journalist, and <strong><em>Dr. Matthew D. Morrison</em></strong><strong>,</strong> author and Associate Professor at NYU’s Tish School of the Arts. Together, they will provide a stimulating analysis of the new dynamics shaping country music, particularly in the wake of the post-<em>Cowboy Carter</em> era. Their conversation is smart, informative, sometimes humorous, and always real.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Welcome to the long-awaited, highly thought-through Part 2 of ‘What is Country Music&#8217; post Cowboy Carter edition<strong>,&#8221; </strong>says Palmer. &#8220;I&#8217;m very excited to be talking to these two individuals because they&#8217;re people that I very much respect in terms of their knowledge and their opinions on these things, and I felt like who better to have the second part of this conversation?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode builds upon the success of its predecessor, <strong><em>&#8220;What Is Country Music? (Pt. 1),</em></strong><em>&#8220;</em> which aired on March 23, where perceptive and engaging discussions explored the essence of country music, including its historical roots and the influence of Nashville in defining the genre.</p>
