This week we covered the two songs that appeared on Glee: Mean and Mine. We also have our first ever guests on the pod this week!

Head over to our YouTube channel to see the non-abridged version of our conversation with them! Check out Gleek of the Week: https://beacons.ai/gleekoftheweekpod/

It’s December and we’re getting in the spirit with two of Taylor’s songs about this time of year: ‘Tis the Damn Season and Christmas Tree Farm! And while these two songs may be about the same time of year, they definitely have… very different vibes. Enjoy!

Sleepover Vibes: I Knew You Were Trouble + Enchanted Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

This week we decided to throw it back with two Taylor songs that remind us of sleepovers when we were kids: I Knew You Were Trouble and Enchanted! These songs make us think of being teenagers, gossiping about our crushes, and pretending like we understood what it was like to be in love.

Haunted Microphones + Murder (From The Vault): No Body, No Crime and Vigilante Sh*t Nov 20, 2023

Show notes

Well, this episode didn’t stay lost for long! We talked about this a few weeks ago, but we had an issue with Cat’s mic about halfway through the episode and had to switch to camera audio. Sorry for the slightly worse audio, it will be better again next week! In this episode, originally recorded for Halloween, we chose two murder-y songs to get in the spirit. The Halloween decorations are out of Cat’s apartment by now, rest assured.

CW: This episode includes discussions of toxic relationships, age gaps, and power imbalances in relationships. If any of these topics might trigger you, we encourage you to skip this episode and come back next week.
