This week on The What Podcast, hosts Barry, Lord Taco, and Bryan embark on their previously-promised quest: diving headfirst into electronic dance music, or EDM. The gang runs through the historical importance of EDM at Bonnaroo and takes a look at the EDM present on the Bonnaroo 2024 lineup.

To assist with their journey into the dance genre, The What Podcast is joined by self-described EDM fan Daniel Haskett, who provides insight into the history of the style and how it has become such a big part of festival culture. For an even deeper look at the genre, check out Haskett's accompanying EDM playlists here: bonnaroo bpm, where in the woods swirl, where in the woods bass, and philos records takeover.
