The Chipmunks: Ross Bagdasarian Jr. & Janice Karman (2017)

Hey, it's Guy here. Just a quick note before we start the show. We have one week left in our annual public radio fundraiser, and we're asking you to show your support for how I built this and for your local public radio station. Now you've heard me say it all month, so please just take a moment to give your gift before the end of the year. Just go to donate. dot npr. org slash built. to support your local NPR station. And thanks.

Okay. A little bit about today's episode. Right around this time of year, I can pretty much guarantee your Can it be out in the world at a restaurant, at a Ma wherever, and suddenly out of some distant speaker.

And I imagine some of you might really love this song and and others Maybe not so much, but either way, it was the very first time that Chipmunks appeared on the scene as a singing trio. This was sixty years ago. And now, well, we can't imagine our childhoods without them and the massive brand they built. And that's pretty much what this episode is about.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
