Hosts Maansi Dommeti, Jenn Holcomb, and Jodi Innerfield are three longtime Swifties whose different lives mean they never hear a song the same way. Our Show & Tell episodes connect a theme... more

“Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind” This week, we finally try to find the actual meaning behind Taylor Swift's "willow" (evermore, 2020), starting with the witchy mythology behind the title (hello, Hecate, Greek goddess of magic and t... more
“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.”
This week we’re setting sail on one of history’s greatest epics, Homer’s The Odyssey, and asking a very impo... more
"A mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you." This week we're deep diving "Cold As You" from Taylor Swift's self-titled debut album (2006) — and it's a heavy one. What reads on the surface as a teen heartbreak song turns out to be a meditation o... more

I love listening to the hosts tie Taylor’s songs to books, poems, mythology, and philosophies. I always learn something and listen to the song discussed from another perspective. The richness of Taylor’s songs is discussed and appreciated.
As an English major, I appreciate what the three hosts are doing with this podcast. I love hearing how they apply different themes and types of literary criticism to TS’s lyrics.
That said, it is very hard to listen to Jody’s interrupting. It is good natured, but when the other two hosts are speaking, she interjects so often and it is distracting. This is very common with enthusiastic hosts, but it is unnecessary, especially since she is often just saying words of agreement. Five stars otherwi... more
This is such a refreshing way to think about songs I love! Truly in the TTPD spirit, this podcast is perfect for Swifties who also love literature and poetry. The hosts have really thoughtful and engaging discussions about songs I have sung thousands of times, but they always come up with a new and unique perspective I haven’t thought of before.
I wanted to enjoy this podcast, but, unfortunately, it falls short. Jody, the host, should auto tune her voice as it’s grating and so irritating it’s hard to absorb any of the content. They’re trying to have an intellectual conversation, yet all they do is interrupt each other while rarely listening to each other’s point. With all the choices listeners have today, do yourself a favor and take a pass on this one…disappointed swiftie.

A thought-provoking deep-dive show that analyzes Taylor Swift's lyrics through literary and cultural lenses. Hosts explore storytelling craft, narrative perspective, and stylistic devices across eras, often tying songs to broader themes like romance, identity, gender, and fame. Episodes balance close, line-by-line lyric analysis with larger cultural context, producing thoughtful conversations that feel like an academic discussion among friends. A standout is the consistent focus on authorial voice and intertextual references, which sets it apart from more entertainment-focused music podcasts and appeals to listeners who crave rigorous literary critique alongside pop culture chatter.
