134: Total Request Live! Taylor, Lana, Kim, and More (with Sam Sanders)

NPR's Sam Sanders stops by to break down the tracks that Switched On listeners have been loving. Swedish dancefloor confessionals, songs that stop time, the specificity of Lana Del Ray, and the awkwardness of descending fourths: it's all on the table in this freewheeling conversation of deep musical nerdiness.
