Summary
We had to talk about Taylor Swift more — especially as so many of you had great comments, feedback and specific inquiries! We structured this bonus like our usual Patreon-only Q&A episodes, except this time we only answered questions you submitted about Ms. Taylor Allison Swift. We talk Gay-lore, billionaires, private jets, the Jets and holding many feelings at once.
Part II of this bonus will be available on Patreon this week to all of our tiers! Join today for just $5 USD/month to get the rest of the conversation in your feed and for all the bonus perks we've already released! Head to Patreon.com/ohwitchplease!
And, if you liked this episode, please share it with family and friends! Word-of-mouth is the primary way we reach new listeners who are interested in feminist materialist critique, pop culture and laughing at and from within *the discourse.* Share the show today!
***
Material Girls is a new show that aims to make sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.
We'll be back in one week for a regular episode!
*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is really interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.

| 0:47.7 | it's up for you. I on the other hand had a nap, a nice long nap while my children screamed at my partner in a fun way. |
| 1:00.0 | But now I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine because both of the children are in bed. |
| 1:04.9 | Absolutely incredible and you've locked the door from the outside so. |
| 1:07.5 | I mean it's not technically a lock. Technically it's just a child- proof handle but like |
| 1:21.0 | But listen it does the job. Okay so in this bonus episode we are going to answer some listener submitted questions based on our Taylor Swift episode and |
| 1:27.2 | what's going to be released here on the feed on the main feed is going to be about half of what we're going to do and then there's going to be like a part two and we'll save all we'll save our close reading of Taylor's birth chart for the Patriot |

| 2:05.0 | Naomi who asks Gaylor yes or no I'm gonna say I'm gonna say no but I'm also gonna say because you found out what it was two days ago |
| 2:16.3 | I had a feeling I knew what it was based on the Port Manteau and then we consulted |
| 2:25.0 | Doctor And then we consulted, whoa whoa, whoa, the doctor's words. And we consulted with official baby of the team, Gabby, |
