“Weird Al" Yankovic joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his latest single, "Polkamania!" Listen to the comedian and musician talk about the latest addition to his polka medley series.

Yankovic dives into the process of taking some of the biggest pop hits of the last decade (including tunes from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Adele, and others) into a medley of accordion-driven polka music. Through the conversation, he touches on how his relationship with contemporary pop music has shifted as he's aged, as well as why he's pivoted from albums to singles.

Elsewhere, Yankovic revisits songs from his catalog like “That Boy Could Dance” and “Lame Claim to Fame” before getting into the ways he ensures his jokes are evergreen. He also touches on his work outside of music, including talk of last year's Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and his relationship with the Stranger Things cast.
