About the episode

We’re back with Album Swap. First up, Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion, the follow-up to her smash hit “Call Me Maybe” that shows an artist trying to find her footing and avoid the one-hit-wonder allegations (1:00). Next, U2’s The Joshua Tree, a quintessential dad album led by Bono, who may be one of our best rock singers ever (45:57).

Hosts: Nora Princiotti and Nathan Hubbard
Producer: Kaya McMullen
