Summary

Hello! On today’s show: the troll who grabbed Ariana at the Wicked premiere is sentenced to jail, and Sydney Sweeney’s new film is a commercial flop - so how much can it be explained by her recent poor press? Plus, the five songs Taylor Swift thinks capture her songwriting career, and then, an Emma Chamberlain passion story from me. Oh! And Slow News Week. This week, Zara recommended Cat Burns on Great Company. Belly recommended listening to Rosalía’s album, LUX.
