Diplo joins the Pop Shop Podcast to chat about his upcoming "country-fusion" album "Thomas Wesley," and why he thinks country radio stations have mostly ignored his hit country-pop single "Heartless," featuring Morgan Wallen. Plus, Diplo gives us updates on the next Major Lazer and Silk City projects, how he’s up for collaborating with both Enya and Barbra Streisand, if he has any unreleased collaborations with Madonna in the vault, and why fans should tweet him photos from Shawn Mendes’ Calvin Klein underwear campaign.

This week, in honor of the upcoming Academy awards, Here's the Thing brings you a collection of conversations with Oscar-winners -- including one new interview coming Friday with the creative team of 2020 Best Documentary-nominee For Sama.  We begin, however, with a reprise of one of the HTT team's all-time favorite episodes, in which Alec enjoys a little miso soup at the home of Barbra Streisand in Malibu.  Streisand has won two Oscars:  first in 1969 for her turn as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, and then again in 1977 for her Best Original Song “Evergreen” from A Star Is Born.
