In 1992, Sinéad O’Connor was at the peak of her commercial success when she spoke out against the Pope on Saturday Night Live. After that, she encountered a massive backlash, but never backed down. Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot talk to documentary filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson about the music, career and activism of Sinéad O’Connor. They also review the new album from rapper Lil Yachty.
