Hosted by journalists Joan Summers and Matthew Lawson, Eating For Free is a weekly podcast that explores gossip and power in the pop culture landscape: Where it comes from, who wields it, and who suffers at the hands of it.

As a Taylor fan I really love their criticism of Swift and other celebrities. I think this criticism is important in examining the GP’s relationship with fame and wealth, especially as the lines blur between casual fan and parasocial stan. Also, Joan and Matthew make me laugh CONSTANTLY. Thanks guys
Best for lengthy series

Joan and Matthew do a lot of deep dives on things that I find interesting, and they have great banter that makes me feel like I’m hearing my friends yap. I think their series (Jonas brothers, VPR, Ariana grande etc) are where they excel the most. The singing wears thin after a while, I usually skip the entire last few minutes to avoid it. The strangest thing to me is that they’re good friends with Lara schoenhals of sexy unique podcast, I personally was an avid SUP listener until Lara came out as a right wing, anti vax, Tucker Carlson fan
