Loretta Lynn’s Memoir Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust (with Emily Walker)

Chelsea welcomes comedian Emily Walker to the pod to discuss best friends, best friend breakups, and Loretta Lynn’s wonderful memoir, “Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust: My Friendship with Patsy Cline.” You may recognize Emily from Chelsea’s book, so they have lots to talk about, including how a Stevie Nicks concert helped mend their friendship. The Loretta Lynn memoir discussion starts at 13:55 if you want to skip to the book discussion. In this episode, Chelsea and Emily talk about everything from Loretta’s marriage as a teenager to how Patsy Cline helped Loretta have her first orgasm with a little lingerie, and how these women forever changed the landscape of country music.

A content warning: this episode contains discussions of sensitive topics including sexual abuse and suicide. Take care while listening and find helpful resources here.
