0:00.0	I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still
0:06.1	watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,
0:12.7	soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,
0:18.0	Stories Without End from WBEZ Chicago, join me as I share how the genre
0:22.3	began, their social impact, and why these stories endure. Listen, wherever you get your podcast.
0:30.3	Ooh, my closet is cold. From WB.E.Z Chicago, this is Nerdette. I'm Greta Johnson. Good morning. It is Tuesday, April 21st, and I am on the floor of my bedroom closet, which means this must be another edition of Nerdette's introverts guide to the good life.
0:50.4	Music is such a great thing to turn to when you're like all up in your feelings and things are really weird, which I don't know about you, but I feel like now that's true more than ever.
1:02.9	So I have definitely been listening to more music than usual these days. I just have this playlist that I shuffle through, which has a bunch of weird
1:11.7	stuff in it, but it's all super catchy and fun, kind of like this song.

So I feel like today is a really good day to expand our musical horizons, which means we're going to get a bunch of really great recommendations from listeners just like you. But first, we're going to check in with our resident music expert,
2:24.7	Jill Hopkins. Her recommendations are exquisitely all over the map. Jill is the host of
2:31.2	the morning talk show on WBEZ's Sister Station Vocalo.
2:35.6	It's called the morning amp and it's full of interviews and there's cool music and news and it's just like the best thing ever.
2:43.0	You may also know Jill because she has been a panelist on Nournette's book club a couple times for the Testaments and for such a fun age.
2:49.8	She is just like such a fun person.
2:52.6	Jill, hi.
2:53.8	Oh my God.
