In the meantime, here's an installment of the great Slate podcast, Dakota Ring, that I think Hit Parade fans are going to enjoy.
Chris MolanphyHOST
In this episode from 2025, host Willa Paskin dives into the world of Hollywood musicals and music biopics and asks this really good question.

Hi, I'm Willa Paskin, the host of Decoder Ring, Slate's podcast about cracking cultural mysteries.

On Decoder Ring, we dive down rabbit holes and obsessively explore questions hiding in plain sight.

Like why is protein in everything these days? And are British teeth really as bad as Americans like to think they are? And why, in the late 1990s, did people suddenly become re-obsessed with swing music? All that and more on Decoder Ring.

In last week's episode, we began telling the story of McGruff the Crime Dog and his album of bizarrely catchy anti-drug bops.
Willa PaskinHOST
In this week's episode, we're going to dive back into that tale and follow McGruff and his songs as they reverberate through the decades.
