99. Taylor Swift: Red (2012)

Is this podcast music history or comedy? While this episode defies categorization there is no denying that it is the best podcast about Taylor Swift and the 99th greatest album of all time, Red.  

 

However, before we share our musical snippets we take a voicemail about our obsession with Beck and get caught in a hot box discussing road trips, driving in Europe, and the best Paul McCartney songs. We also become the best food and drink podcast when we talk about the best kind of whitefish, beer sampling etiquette, and celebrity chefs (including tortilla salesmen at beer gardens)..

 

Then at (49:00), we treat you to a musical logic treatise of sorts when we talk about Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red. We discuss Swift's reverse Hootie transition from, country to pop, hidden messages in the album liner notes, and the suitcase theory. Dr. Instrument also goes through a list of the best ukulele songs.

 

Next week the podcast is rolling into Nazareth and putting the load right on you when we become the best podcast about the Band and their debut studio album, Music from the Big Pink.
