	Open in app or online Country radio, off-beat grooves, and NBA champions* Three new visual essays (and a browser extension!) from The Pudding Jun 30   Share   The Pudding is a publication for visual essays. You may have stumbled upon some of our projects, such as Women’s Pockets are Inferior, How Bad is Your Spotify or Apple Music?, or A People Map of the US. Happy Summer! We have *four* new projects we are excited to share with you. They Won’t Play a Lady-O on Country Radio - Examining back-to-back plays by gender, race, and sexual orientation Wonky - An exploration of rhythm and grooves that break the rules Asterisking NBA Champions - The official haters guide for salty fans Pass The Mic - A browser extension to visualize how much each person is talking in Google Meet As always, thanks a ton for continuing to subscribe and allowing us to share our work with your inbox. Special shout-out to Patreon subscribers and paid-Substack subscribers; your support means a lot! Country Radio Back in May 2015, a radio consultant said that women in country music are not the lettuce in the salad, but the tomatoes — they should be “sprinkled” on the playlist and not played back-to-back. “Tomatogate” got us thinking: “How bad is bad for back-to-backs?”, an audible confirmation of country radio's tokenism, or the idea that you’ve played one woman so you don’t need to play more. We looked at 29 radio stations across 19 days. Read the essay Rhythm and Groove This piece is an exploration of J Dilla's signature off-kilter timefeel that made him one of the most influential producers of the modern era. You'll learn what made his approach special through dissecting songs and making some grooves yourself. Read the essay NBA Champions* Injuries always seem to spoil the playoffs. So we created a metric that asterisks the post-2000 NBA Champions based on injured and inactive opponents. Who had the easiest and hardest roads? Find out inside. Read the essay Pass The Mic Are you talking too much in meetings? Do you think other people are? This extension displays a bar chart comparison of the share of talking during a Google Meet. Great for folks that want to be hyper-aware of how the conversation is going, or simply want a fun thing to look during an unnecessary meeting :) Install the extension Quick aside!
