Dolly Parton is rolling out a new four-part radio series, What Would Dolly Do? Radio, airing exclusively on Apple Music’s global live-streaming radio station, Apple Music 1.

Listeners can tune in weekly leading up to the release of Parton’s first rock album, Rockstar, as she shares her stories, wit and wisdom on the show. On the inaugural episode, Parton chats with co-host Kelleigh Bannen about her look and legacy, celebrating the multi-faceted cultural icon, from Rockstar to role model, trailblazer to national treasure. In episode 2, Parton talks business from stage to screen and more, while the third episode explores her philanthropic endeavors and the importance of giving back. On the last episode, she chats about her rock-n-roll era with Rockstar.

“I’ve lived a life of many colors, and I enjoyed the chance to sit down with Kelleigh Bannen to discuss different areas of my life and career. I hope the fans will have as much fun listening as we had recording this!” says Parton.

What Would Dolly Do? Radio will air weekly on Wednesdays on Apple Music 1 at 7 p.m. CT beginning Oct. 25. Fans can tune in and listen live for free or anytime on-demand with an Apple Music subscription at apple.co/am-1. It will also be available on Apple Podcasts, and Apple Music subscribers can follow the show on Apple Podcasts to automatically download and get notified of new episodes when they’re available on-demand.

Parton’s new album Rockstar will release on Nov. 17. Her new book Behind The Seams: My Life In Rhinestones is out Oct. 17 and will be available to read or listen to on Apple Books. Both can also be pre-ordered now via shop.dollyparton.com.
