Customer Reviews
Where’s the draft eps?
What happened to the draft episodes? That was a nice marriage of the taylor and sport content. Hopefully you bring ‘em back. 🤘🏽
Older episodes are *chefs kiss*
I looooove visiting the old episodes about Taylor’s albums but I’ve noticed the newer ones are not nearly as concise or interesting - as if they are trying too hard to come up with a topic. Maybe we only need this pod once a month? I like hearing Nora’s takes but she speaks non stop for about 70% of the episode and it’s too much sometimes.
Less Taylor Swift Coverage PLEASE
I really appreciate the thoughtful coverage and takes by the hosts but am disappointed how much Taylor Swift coverage there is. One episode to review tortured poets would have been sufficient! I want to hear you talk about other artists! There are already soooooo many Taylor swift dedicated podcasts. We REALLY don’t need continual eras tour updates here. Most of us are over inundated with them on tiktok anyway. The original pitch of this podcast is so great and again I like hearing what the hosts have to say I just wish they would stick to their original thesis and move on. I genuinely believe you’re both better than this!
