Here's the mark of a great Talkhouse Podcast pairing: For this week's show, we introduced legendary producer Diplo (Major Lazer) and rising country star Charley Crockett, and by the end of the talk, the two had decided to work together!

In this wonderful conversation, Charley and Diplo go deep on the connections between country music and hip hop, their love of flashy cowboy fashion, the changing looks and sounds of country, and much more.
