Say what you want, but this show makes its money off recontextualizing artists that the typical NPR audience likely finds synthetic, corporate or otherwise manufactured in some way. I think the Megan episode - much like the T-Pain, Mac Miller or Freddie Gibbs episodes - are a wonderful way of reimagining these artists for NPR's audience of people who play real music, have real talent and know their craft.


Whether you like the music or not, I think, isn't always the point of the show.
