We won't be caught tanking. A podcast about where pop culture and sports culture collide… inspired by the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss Taylor's work-themed birthday; we commemorate the End of Eras; no one ate cake on the Netflix Christmas games, but a LOT of people watched basketball; do any NFL games this week matter?; and chess wardrobe drama.
