Episode eight is special for two reasons: We discuss our first song off Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade, and we are joined by our first ever special guest — the writer and critic Mikaela Dery! "Sandcastles" comes down to three queens (with three accents) sitting on a beach and tracing bloodlines, matrimonial lineages, curses, betrayal, anger, forgiveness, and redemption. Cameos include Adele, Dolly Parton, Moira Rose, a conspicuously chastened Jay-Z, and lots of classically contemplative Bey.
