Episode Notes
“We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” the hit song from Disney’s Encanto, is sitting at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and that’s all thanks to TikTok. On the show today, Madison and Rachelle talk about the songs from Encanto currently dominating the platform, and why people online seem to love to hate Lin-Manuel Miranda. If you’d like to read more about the structure of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” check out Chris White’s piece about it in Slate.
