Great write up! To comment on the podcast portion, I’ve been a little irritated by the recent transition to make all podcasts have a recorded video version instead of just voice. Is this similar to how radio felt when TV and news anchors came along? What is it with humans being drawn to visual mediums over purely auditory? I’m not a New Heights listener and don’t plan on becoming one, but this episode felt absurdly long. Wish they had done another batch of edits to tighten it up 😬
“magazines should exist as collector’s items.” Absolutely! Miss the glory days of Britney’s Rolling Stone covers and Vanity Fair’s (RIP) It’s Raining Teens issue.
i always get nervous before reading your ts (and ts adjacent) takes because i respect your opinion so much, but she also has my undying love. as always you are fair, clever and funny when it comes to her and i should stop doubting that to be the case lol. can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the album once in drops! hope it inspires you to do a deep(ish) dive
Great investigative report Ira!TS calling Travis a “human exclamation point” was both endearing and accurate. I stan!

I would pay so much to hear Taylor explain Hamlet
when she makes an ophelia-themed music video…
