Did Taylor Swift single-handedly rescue our pandemic summer by surprise-dropping 'folklore?' Nathan and Nora think so. They talk about the influence of the National, Justin Vernon, and Jack Antonoff on this album; whether or not this an "indie" record; what makes Taylor so good at trying on new sounds; and their favorite songs off of this album.

Hosts: Nora Princiotti and Nathan Hubbard

Producer: Kaya McMullen
