Taylor Swift is in the news again, although this time it’s not of the InfoSec variety.

The gang try and untie the subject without avoiding the elephant in the room.

Your heroic trio also discuss advertising and the problems facing publishers and end-users on the web in light for the news that Safari and mobile Safari will block ads by default and Apple’s iOS 9 ‘News’ looks set to be largely ad-free.
