This episode kicks off a series we're beginning on the podcast all about lyrics. And today's theme: rhyme! Don't you love a good rhyme?? We're putting a lot on the table, from our personal definitions of rhyme (in addition to some more famous ones) to the non-universality of pronunciation, and others of the many ways words can connect. Also included: Oklahoma slander on Euphoria, Rihanna's baby, and anti-rhyme sentiment in pop music. Rhyme is about organizing attention, and it's time for you to organize your attention toward this episode!
