Hey, I'm Daoud Tyler Amin, and I'm Empowers.
We are an editor and a critic at NPR Music,
and we're also friends who love digging into music histories and thinking about how songs can change over time.
And we're doing that on a new show.
We're totally nerding out about the songs that just stick with us and why.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
The federal government shutdown is now the longest in U.S.
history at 38 days.
It's affecting air travel
because air traffic controllers aren't getting paid and there are staffing shortages.

Airline traveler Reginald Dumas is in Dallas.
He says he's preparing for chaos at the airport.
Continue to maybe adjust.
You know, your times, your budgets, a lot of things like that to try to stress things out.
I don't think it's going to last that much longer because eventually I'm praying about it.
It has to break.
By next week, up to 10 percent of flights will be reduced in the U.S.
as the number of air traffic controllers continues to shrink.
