Show Notes

A second episode! We're just as shocked as you, we swear! This week, we delve into Taylor Swift's most recent studio album _Reputation_ (as much as we can) and all the cans of worms that seem to have come with it. Talking points: identity as construction, aesthetic over content, the tenuous and conditional acceptance of the female celebrity, the ACLU pun fest, can art ever be separate from the artist, lawful evil capitalism, and hey, Nazis are bad.
