What’s the best thing that’s ever been YOURS? Sammy and Ellie talk to Lina Abascal, author of the book Never Be Alone Again: How Bloghouse United the Internet and the Dancefloor, about the grounded, exquisitely detailed, fantasy of Mine, from Taylor Swift’s 2010 album Speak Now. Two thirds of the group admit to being earnest Glee fans, we wonder what kind of things Taylor Swift would leave in a theoretical partner’s drawer, and Sammy and Ellie sing a jingle for a brand new segment that you’re just gunna love!

This week, Sammy and Ellie talk to Demi Adejuyigbe about the effervescent, relentless joy of Shake It Off!

Ticketmaster can BURN!!!!!
