On the latest show, we welcome two special guests: Allie X and Ruth B. The rising singer/songwriters stopped by the show (for separate interviews) to talk about their new albums, their songwriting process, and more. In addition to our two interviews, we’ve got chart news about how Lorde earns her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with "Melodrama." Lorde is the third woman to lead the list in as many weeks, which perhaps unsurprisingly isn’t exactly a common feat. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
