“It’s the oddest thing — I heard this podcast essentially by accident, I don’t even know Swift’s music that much, and I’m wayyyy past the target audience, yet I just love this show because of its creators. The friendship and chemistry between the co-hosts is lightning in a bottle — both are smart, funny and opinionated but so are many podcasters. What really sets them apart is a quality that is increasingly rare across all media — they are genuine. They genuinely have fun with this, they genuinely like and respect each other, they are genuinely sharp and articulate, they genuinely think through their opinions and they are genuinely good-humored about their favorite singer and about themselves. People can sniff disdainfully about Taylor Swift all they want (though they shouldn’t because envy is unattractive and who are they kidding) but I will tell you this one thing — any entertainer who can inspire friendships and joint creativity to this degree is actually doing something worthwhile for pop culture. This podcast caused me to actually listen to TS’s new release all the way through — the first time I ever heard anything of hers that wasn’t coming from a radio or grocery store sound system — and guess what? It’s excellent.”
