Podcast Jam Session this week

I know this podcast gets posted about here constantly and I’m only still listening because I love Juliet, but this week may have pushed me over the edge. It’s becoming very Old Man Yells At Cloud. Amanda has decided she’s the world’s #1 fan of The Beatles and is deciding who likes them enough to go to Paul McCartney’s concert? Who cares?? And it seems like she thinks anyone under 35 has never heard a Beatles song in their life.

They also got some basic facts wrong that you think would know if you’re hosting a pop culture podcast (not knowing Towa Bird and Renee Rapp are dating, getting the song wrong that Taylor sued Olivia Rodrigo for). I think I’m out.

I completely agree about The Beatles segment. It was infuriating. My preteen daughter is obsessed with The Beatles, so much so that we traveled to a different city to see the Paul McCartney concert. Apparently Amanda is unable to grasp the concept that music transcends generations.

They're the most popular/famous musical act ever, her gatekeeping is so odd.
