I get that we are entitled to our own opinions but why have a bunch of Taylor swift haters comment on anything she does? Just a waste of time. What’s important is how the people who enjoy what Taylor does feel about her work. End of story.

Excellent show. Continue the great work.
Apple Podcasts5JasminCyrCanada4 months ago - More Canadian please!
While I enjoy Elamin’s hosting, I do wish this CBC show would only concern itself with Canadian media etc. I don’t need a CBC pod to have American guests on discussing American music and movies. I can listen to that on American podcasts. Would prefer more local topics and guests. Thanks!
