Becoming a Swiftie (with Sydney Bauer!)
Taylor Swift is a global sensation with legions of devoted fans who call themselves "Swifties." Surprisingly, your hosts Dave and Caleb -- a.k.a. two dads in their 40s -- aren't among them. But in the midst of the year of Taylor, we wanted to find our way in. So we enlisted our friend Sydney Bauer, a self-professed Swiftie to give us three records and three weeks to fully take them in, and then guided us through a proverbial walking tour of what makes Taylor so singular and beloved. We did our homework, and now we're ready to name the best album for becoming a Swiftie!
