	Description:		Kesha's solo comeback Praying is a song that strikes at the heart of how pop is made and where the power lies. It also raises the question of whether authenticity is a prerequisite when listening to highly emotive songs. Source material for this discussion includes Amanda Petrusich's excellent piece for the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-pain-of-denying-kesha-her-audience And John Seabrook's highly recommended book The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory. Elsewhere in this week's podcast, there's a J-Hus challenge, some bickering over Rita Ora lyrics and an argument over Katy Perry, Calvin Harris and whether songs written as a patchwork quilt of little ideas still work.
