  • A literary and musical JOY

    I’ve always loved Taylor’s lyrics, but listening to this podcast has given me such a deeper appreciation for her skill as a poet. I’m a writer myself and often listen to different TS albums while I draft. My own storytelling gets inspired in new ways during every episode of this podcast. I look forward to Uncle Jerry’s analysis and Angela’s commentary every week!
