No, you're not going to be unexpectedly directed to any YouTube videos of soulful 80s pop hits. This is a real episode about the "Never Gonna Give You Up" guy. Comedian and writer Alison Stevenson effortlessly makes the case that Astley's brand of uncomplicated, catchy pop, sung in that signature baritone, is worth listening to on purpose, not just by accident. After you hear some deep cuts, you'll probably agree with her.
