Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift dropped an epic new album that spans two hours — and two high-profile breakups. The Tortured Poets Department delves deeply into two of the singer's recent relationships — one with the English actor Joe Alwyn and the other with Matty Healy, who's the lead singer of The 1975. And while Taylor Swift indulges in a few beefs on this record, the target she returns to most often is herself.

Fallout And What's Making Us Happy
The new show Fallout is based on a hugely successful video game series known for its sardonic, very dark comedic sensibility, and its violence. It's set in the game's post-apocalyptic world – an America divided into factions wrestling for control of an irradiated wasteland. When the hopeful Lucy (Ella Purnell) steps out of the comfortable life she's known in an underground vault, the world she's confronted with is harsh, brutal, merciless – and kinda funny.

Kundenrezensionen
My favorite part of the day
I discovered PCHH when in the middle of the first 2020 lockdown Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V Gordon talked about it on their podcast. I’ve listened to every episodes since and it’s always such a delight. The opinions are strong and informed. I’ve watched many movies and shows and listened to so much new music after listening to PCHH. I just love all the hosts and guests. It’s a great way to spend my walks to and back from work.
Always puts me in a good mood!
It’s a very enjoyable podcast to listen to, even if you haven’t seen the shows/films they are talking about. Love the “What’s making us happy this week” segment at the end.
