I Smell Pop Culture: Clay Aiken

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

He came in 2nd place in season 2 of American Idol, but Clay Aiken will always be #1 in our hearts!

Unfortunately Lane doesn’t share the same affection for Clay, and in season 4 episode 18, she says we need to wipe out the “Rubens, the Clays, the Clarksons” like we did with disco. 

We’re talking to the one and only Clay Aiken to find out what really went down on the Idol stage 20 years ago, how he got into politics, and what it’s like being Lane’s target! 
He’s not invisible, he’s pop culture!
