Whyspace

Everyone has opinions, and we all know the saying about those opinions. But what if we understood why people like the things they like? What if we really knew what made people tick? Things like a personal chef or a personal stylist, summer or winter, audiobooks or podcasts, new music from Taylor Swift, or re-records? We spend a lot of time with people, why don't we find out more about each other? Tune in today and here some of our opinions and more importantly, why we like the things we like. 

We recorded this week's episode hours after the Super Bowl concluded. Of course, we talked all things Chiefs, Taylor and Travis, the halftime show, and maybe a few soapboxes on our feelings about different moments in the game. We quickly recapped the Grammys and then shifted gears to give our predictions for the People's Choice Awards.

PSA: If you were offended by Taylor at the Grammys or Travis showing some intense emotions during the Super Bowl, you might find yourself offended in today's episode...but it might do you some good to hear another viewpoint. So tune in anyway! 

And it's not the reason you are thinking. No, we don't believe Taylor Swift, the NFL, and the CIA were in cahoots to rig the Super Bowl. But we did drop our thoughts on the Chiefs Super Bowl run, the NFL Awards, and more on today's episode of Whyspace. Tune in today and Go Chiefs!

2023 was the year of Taylor Swift. Will the Grammys recognize that feat? Swift was among the leaders in the nominations list this year, following SZA, who had nine nods, and Victoriá Monét, who secured seven. Swift tied with Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste, Billie Eilish, Brandy Clark, and Boygenius, who got six nods each. Will Taylor sweep the Grammys this year?

Today's culture is inundated with the 24/7 new coverage cycle and the role of social media has made some players in high-profile criminals into celebrities. What role do we as consumers have in absorbing the constant news cycles and are the televised trials and podcasts that deep dive into crimes doing more harm than good in our society?

Greta Gerwig's 2023 hit movie, "Barbie," takes viewers down a wild, exaggerated world where the plastic dolls of our childhood come to life. While the movie is full of beautiful characters and fun dance numbers the deeper lessons of the movie challenge our narratives of self-worth and encourage us along our journeys to self-discovery. Tune in today to hear why we think this was the right time in our society to put this movie into the world and more.  

Gossip sites and social media accounts are running rampant with theories and blind items that they are publishing as fact on every channel, while in reality, only the celebrities themselves know what is true or false. How do we create a healthier culture around pop culture and why is it important? Why is our society so consumed with this invasive form of media? Why do celebrities alert the paparazzi if they truly want their privacy? All that and more on today's episode of Whyspace. 

The 2023 regular college football season has ended and the bowl games have begun. We have a lot of thoughts and opinions on teams we like, teams we don't, heroes, and villains. We also explain why we like the NIL system and why the transfer portal is complicating the landscape of college football; and lots more.

2023 has clearly been the year of Taylor Swift, and rightfully so. In today's episode, we recap why we are convinced we made the right person famous, why this was Taylor's year, and why we chose our favorite songs from her "eras."
