The White Stripes' live staple. Their best cover, and perhaps the most important b-side in their discography? Andrea and Ryan discuss the White Stripes' cover of the Dolly Parton classic. They look at the song's history and origin, and marvel at the song's vulnerability. The Stripes' cover took on a new identity live and is the shining example of the band's creativity and sheer power. Based in Vancouver, BC, Andrea Woo reports extensively on substance use, mental health, and the intersection of health and climate change for the The Globe and Mail.

Little Room ft. Andrew Zuber
Short song, long conversation. Ryan's joined in his little room with Andrew Zuber to discuss "Little Room", the short but impactful track off 2001's White Blood Cells. The two discuss the challenges and struggles of the creative process, and how the White Stripes carried this song with them for some of the biggest moments of their career as the band's popularity continued to rise. Ryan also suggests Jack White's inspiration for this simplistic song might be found in his favourite song, Son House's "Grinnin' in Your Face."
