Shania, Self Respect and Sabrina Carpenter

Time for another catch-up!


This week is a full on whinge fest! That minging summer cold has hit the studio and it has hit hard!


Not so fresh from seeing Shania Twain headline Hyde Park, Taylor dives into the impact the songs have had on him and gives Luke an update in regards to the sleazy messages he was receiving!


The main takeaways from the episode are:


  • Bart Simpson is Sabrina Carpenter's aunt?
  • Being the villain
  • Mental health being used as a weapon


This podcast is a bit chaotic compared to normal, but it felt good to have a bit of a rant!
