About this episode

This week, we’re pretending we get a say in the Grammys and casting our votes for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and all the categories that matter (and some that don’t). We laugh, we cheer, we boo, we beg the Recording Academy to do the right thing. Will Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter get their flowers? Will Kendrick Lamar obliterate the competition? Will we blindly click “vote” when we see Beyoncé? Tune in as we make our picks, drag some questionable nominees, and manifest justice for the underdogs.
