On today's episode of The Compendium: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things, while Adam takes a break this week, we take a look into the life of the ledgend; Dolly Parton with our guest for this week Lizzie Evans. Today I tell Lizzi about a pioneering spirit and an undeniable icon in the realm of country music.

From her early days in Tennessee to her groundbreaking hits like "Nine to Five," we explore how Dolly became a global sensation. Her collaborations with fellow artists like Kenny Rogers add another layer to her multifaceted career.

We also look at the less-talked-about aspects of her life, including her focus on mental health and philanthropy through ventures like Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to her musical world, we invite you to join us on this journey of discovering the enigma that is Dolly Parton.
