On today’s episode of “Daily Variety” podcast, country music superstar Reba McEntire discusses celebrating her golden anniversary in music this year with a series of EP releases that pair a newly recorded song with several vintage tunes. McEntire also weighs in on how she’s navigated a turbulent TV marketplace to get her NBC comedy “Happy’s Place” to a third season.

McEntire credits her manager, Justin McIntosh, with the concept behind the EP releases, which began in April and will continue through December via her longtime label, MCA. Next up is “Ring, Ring,” which bows on July 24. As part of the release plan, McEntire has assembled special playlists for fans that dive deeper into her vast catalog.
