Coming back to you with part two of our Taylor Swift two part series! And as a bonus, you get Liv content!!!! In part two of our two-part series on Taylor Swift, Luce and Liv discuss why Taylor Swift has chosen to re-record her masters. What went down with Scooter Braun? Does she own the music and just not the final song? Why should we only be listening to ‘Taylor’s Versions?’ What does this mean for the future of the music industry? Is she now feeling happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way? Is it miserable or magical?

The Modern History of Taylor Swift (Part 2)

It was enchanting to meet you.

Seems like a fitting time to re-upload our Taylor Swift two part series right??? In part one of our two-part series on Taylor Swift, Luce and Liv relive Taylor Swift as we’ve always known her. Era by era, we discuss the music, the look, and the people who inspired (sometimes in a good way, sometimes... not) Taylor Swift to become the superstar we’re all enamoured with today. All I can say is it was enchanting to record this episode for you.&nbsp;

Ozempic, Explained

Meri Kirihimete to our wonderful podcast listeners! Luce and Bel are taking a well-deserved break but will see you back on the 18th of Jan! In the meantime, enjoy some of our favourite episodes of 2023! This week we discuss something very near and dear to our hearts - the dangers of the tortured artists trope and why we shouldn't expect artists to live in their pain to create art for us. Also, Adele is sick of you throwing shit at people on stage, Olivia Rodrigo has a new song out and we're OBSESSED, and Zoe and Alfie are having another baby.
