Truly love this podcast. Hosts are everything. Really well researched takes and so funny. Plz plz plz for your misophonia fans, MUTE the mouth noises because at times they make me feel like I’m going to die.

They are truly hilarious, smart and knowledgeable about all things Taylor Swift, and if you’re a Swiftie, you really need to give them a listen. Zack and Madeline are the best at chronicling the life and times of Ms. Swift. They are so funny and honest and I absolutely love this podcast. Boots!

Love this podcast! Zach and Madeline have great rapport. They both teach and make you laugh.

I like the show overall, but the newer episode has ad after ad to the point that I had to stop. It’s a jarring listening experience. I don’t mind a few ads, but it got to the point where I couldn’t follow along. I guess the only way to enjoy the episode now is to buy an ad-free version of it, which I’m not going to do. I have bills to pay. Sucks, because I really liked the show, but I guess it’s not for poor people lol

I thought this podcast would be a thoughtful exploration of Taylor’s music but I think the male host actually doesn’t care for her music at all. I felt like I was just listening to the snarker version of an ugly subReddit. The male host is very self important. Beware of this podcast if you actually enjoy Taylor’s music.
