The Swiftie and The Scholar

I don’t think you could call me a Swiftie, but I’ve always been a fan. I’m really enjoying the literary discussions and discovering more about Taylor’s songs, the depth of her lyrics, and her deep body of work. Def a fan of both the podcast and the music now!

As someone who is an absolute Swiftie and someone who has both a BA and a MA in English, this is absolutely perfect for my brain. My only gripe is the audio is super quiet but the ads are really loud. Not a huge deal but it’d be nice to fix 😊

I really enjoy this podcast. As a relatively new fan of Taylor Swift, I am appreciative of the literary analysis, and I’ve learned a lot about some songs that I now realize I was only listening to superficially. Technically, though, please invest in a sound engineer because often the sound (at least on Apple podcasts) is extremely ow for the show that you have to crank up the volume (the volume is even lower for uncle Jerry than for the Swiftie) and then a jarring commercial will come on extremely loud and you have to run to your device to turn it down (Good luck if you are wearing earbuds!). That’s why I took one star away. Content wise—it’s a solid 5, though.

This podcast has ~swiftly~ become one of my favorites. It has the best lyrical analysis! My dad has become even more of a Swiftie than me and it has been such a joy to listen to this podcast together and discuss all of the themes in Taylor’s songwriting. Thank you so much for providing such delightful perspectives :)

Absolutely OBSESSED with Dr uncle Jerry and his journey to becoming a swiftie! This is hands down my favorite swiftie podcast and I love learning new things about her lyrics with every episode!
