    Why I published "Hoping for a Taylor Swift Fix"

    This is my first podcast Open Secrets podcast episode. It’s unscripted, as I’m sure you’ll realize once you hear me start talking. I give some insights into why I chose Ellen Friedrichs’ essay “Hoping for a Taylor Swift Fix,” and what I thought she captured about death anniversaries and grieving, wanting to make your children happy, the rush of feeling like you’re about to get Taylor Swift tickets, followed by the harsh reality of not being able to, and the wisdom that younger generations sometimes have and can teach older generations.Thank you for supporting Open Secrets!Support Open Secrets to keep the personal essay alive.
