Spend time in any American city and you'll likely encounter someone with untreated psychosis.

Lost Patience is a new podcast examining our maze-like system for treating severe mental illness,

which loses patients to an endless loop between the streets, jail, and hospitals.

Does it have to be this way?

For the history, the reality, and hopefully some solutions.

Listen to lost patients from KUAW and the Seattle Times,

part of the NPR Network.

Hello, hello.

I'm Brittany Loose and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR.

A show about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident.

Today I'm bringing you something a little different. A conversation I had last

week on pop culture happy hour all about the album of the moment.

You know the one.

So let's get into it.

Throw on those boots with the spurs,

grab your cowboy hat, and saddle up that horse.

Of course, we're talking about Beyonce's highly anticipated album, Cowboy Carter.

Beyonce herself has said that cowboy Carter is more than just a country album.

It's a genre blending pastiche full of heavy Americana signifiers, not to mention legends

like Dolly Parton, and she ties it all together with the unbridled swagger

of Queen Bee herself.

I'm Stephen Thompson.
