About the episode
Nora and Nathan briefly recap their favorite moments from the VMAs (1:00) before getting into the debut album from Audrey Hobert, Who’s the Clown? (12:22). They talk about Hobert’s other job—writing songs with Gracie Abrams (17:47)—the ways in which this album is similar to and different from Abrams’s The Secret of Us (23:33), and the complex lyrics over simple chords that make this album one of the best debuts since Olivia Rodrigo’s (44:01).
