The Fangirl Podcast

We're back for a new episode and a new guest to help us deep dive the bonus tracks on 1989 (Taylor's Version!) Today we're welcoming Jessica to the show- engineer by day, Taylor Swift trivia host by night, and a longtime Swiftie! In this episode, first we break down the Travis and Taylor relationship- is it for real, or is Taylor just having fun? Who is Travis Kelce, and what is this sport that he plays? We chatted all about the Traylor rumors, the breakup with Joe, and the wild night that was Buenos Aires Eras Tour Night 3 (IYKYK). From there we deep-dived all of the bonus tracks on 1989 and gave our takes on what it all means for Taylor, her 1989 era, and who or what these songs were about. What was our favorite song you ask?

Welcome to season 3! We are doing a rebrand of the podcast and we are so glad you're along for the ride. Welcome new listeners! Today we are super jazzed to have a new friend on the show, Bryan! Bryan is a dog dad, healthcare hero, and an avid fan of Jennifer Lopez, our fangirl obsession for this show. Bryan joins us on the show to chat all things J.Lo, from Selena, to On the 6, to Jenni from the Block, Bennifer, the Superbowl Halftime show and more. We chatted about our childhood love of J.Lo and her epic career so far. Bryan breaks down his first introduction to J.Lo at six years old, and Liz chats about that one time she met Bennifer at a New Jersey diner. Don't believe us? Listen now for the full deets!

Happy September 13th everyone ! It’s only 3 months until Taylor Swift celebrates her birthday and today we are celebrating her bonus tracks off the Midnights record. Friend of the pod Samantha joins us again to recap our experience at the Eras tour, and to chat all about Taylor and the TikTok theories she inspires. We share our takes on the bonus tracks and talk about whether or not these songs are about a certain someone (Joe somebody ??) . Enjoy!

a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet... and listening to this podcast! On this week's episode, we have a friend of the show, Sam Georgson, join us for a very special episode chatting all about Aly &AJ!  This episode was super fun to record because we chatted all about Sam's love for Aly & AJ and her recent live show experience and epic concert outfit (side note, there were rhinestones involved). We deep-dived Aly & AJ's incredibly long career, from Disney Channel icons to pop-indie-folk musicians, and the somewhat odd resurgence of their viral song, Potential Breakup Song. Any TikTok-ers out there?!  During the show, we detoured into Disney Channel stardom (where are they now?) and talked about how Aly & AJ have set themselves apart from other artists and musicians. We mused about who their best collaborators would be, and why sisters make up the best bands (ahem, HAIM, ahem). It was a blast to chat about Aly & AJ and hope you love this new episode!

And we're back from hiatus! It's been awhile friends, and we are coming in HOT!  In this episode, Liz talks to her new friend and classmate Allen all about the 90s grunge girl band Sleater Kinney. This band is somewhat of a departure from the artists we usually talk about on the Fangirl Podcast, and ya know what? It was AWESOME to chat about 90s rock, the grunge scene of the West Coast, and the powerful feminism of this badass female duo band. Hit that link to listen now!  Check out our Anchor page, The Fangirl Podcast for new episodes about your favorite female artists and bands.

After a brief hiatus, we are BACK and ready to #freebritney!  On today's episode, we're diving deep into Britney Spears; pop icon, teen queen, and one of our all-time favorites. We are joined on the show by Kyla, a native Vermonter, dog mom, and another huge Britney fan for a deep dive into Britney's life, legacy, and music of course! We chat about the first time we heard Britney, and the songs we grew up singing and dancing to. We dish about our favorite songs, her best albums, and Kyla's trauma over buying her first Britney CD, lol.  Then we get into the deeper stuff; how Britney was vilified by the media and slut-shamed incessantly as a young woman. Why were the paparazzi so obsessed with her? Why did people ask her about her virginity? What would happen nowadays if a reporter asked that question to a pop star?  It gets real deep here, as we chat about topics such as Britney being a "role model" and the media's representation of young female pop stars in the late 90s and early 2000s. All of that attention must've affected Britney deeply, and we discuss how her mental breakdown in 2007 would be handled much differently nowadays. At least, we hope! Kyla and I talked at length about Britney's conservatorship, and what is being done to help #freebritney. The legal battles continue in California, and Britney is literally fighting for her life, her reproductive rights, her kids, and her career. As it turns out, this is just the tip of the iceberg; tune in now to hear all the details and get our take on the situation!  Check out our Anchor page, The Fangirl Podcast for new episodes about your favorite female artists and bands.

This week Liz is joined by her Boston pals Mike and Emily to chat all about the HAIM sisters and their incredible music! These ladies ROCK and we spent an hour talking about their musical inspirations, their musical family upbringing, and the stories behind the songs. We also breakdown the albums, all the great songs these ladies have written, and some fun facts about the HAIM sisters, such as Este’s on-stage snack breaks and their famous friendship with the one and only Taylor Swift! During the show we digress about that one time we saw HAIM perform in Boston and freaked out over an unexpected dance routine and musical performance featuring an at the time very little-known artist performing an epic 90s R&B song …. tune in to hear all about it! To cap off the episode we discuss artists we’d love to see collaborate with HAIM…. And it's not what you’d expect.  We chat about other sister/brother bands we love, such as Joseph, Bailen, and Hanson, and create a new song idea for the HAIM girls to perform by mashing up a classic Hanson tune with some Cardi B added into the mix! Can you guess what it is? Tune in now to hear us fangirl over HAIM! Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe to The Fangirl Podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome back to Part Two of our deep dive into Folklore, by Taylor Swift! In this episode, we are joined by a die-hard Swifty fan, Ryan Lacher, to help us discuss the songs, tease out the meaning behind the august/betty/cardigan trilogy, and figure out what *exactly* is cottagecore. (Spoiler alert, we still don't really know!) In this episode, we dive into my tears ricochet, exile, cardigan, epiphany, and many more songs from Folklore. Ryan tells us what it's like to see Taylor live, and we chat about the upcoming album, evermore, the sister album to folklore.  Join us to help us figure out exactly what Taylor meant when she wrote about betty and james, and what this new album means for her legacy of music!  Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe to The Fangirl Podcast on Apple Podcasts.

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it. This week we are fangirling over Ariana Grande with another Grande- Colleen Grande of Austin, TX! Colleen is an old friend with a deep passion for Ari, and a matching name to boot (are they related? are they long lost sisters? Probably). On this episode we get real deep into Ari's songs, her albums and why we love her. We chat about why people hated pop music for so long, and what it means for women to write and sing highly sexualized songs in 2020. Is it cool to be bold about your sexuality, or are you just doing it for the shock value? Tune in to hear about our obsession with Ariana Grande,  fun facts about her songs, and theories about the true meaning behind the song "Side to Side"...
