Lyrics as Literature

from Tuesday Night Book Club · host Alex Zapantis, Tava Hoag, and Brett Gannon

We knew we couldn't escape it, so we didn't bother to try. In this episode, Tava, Brett, and Alex board the T-Swift train and dive deep into song lyrics, with a focus on Taylor Swift in honor of her new album. But don't fret, there is plenty for the anti-Swiftie as well, including a conversation about concerts, other artists, and a recurring gag where Tava and Alex won't stop clearing their throats.

Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Miscast Entertainment Miscast Entertainment This is Miscast Entertainment, with your hosts, William Davis Moore, Greg, and JJ!
