Episode 109: No, Taylor Swift is not on Whitney Houston’s Level
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss whether Biden’s infrastructure bill goes far enough in its efforts to fix communities that were damaged by the building of the United States interstate system and we give our thoughts on the conversation about whether or not Taylor Swift is a better overall artist than Whitney Houston. We also discuss the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, the controversial remarks made by a defense attorney in the trial against Ahmaud Arbery’s murderers, the feminist backlash against ‘King Richard,’ and more.
