Let’s Ask Taylor Swift is the latest Not Sorry podcast.

Every episode, we are going to be choosing a Taylor Swift song and bringing a question to it, something that helps us get deeper into the text and better understand ourselves and the people in our lives.

Daniel Schroeder and Vanessa Zoltan co-host each episode. Season one will focus on some of Taylor’s biggest hits!

The Real Question is the third original podcast from Not Sorry. This season, we’re looking specifically at questions of quitting. When is it time to quit something, and when should you stick with it?

Host Vanessa Zoltan speaks with people considering quitting relationships, quitting places they live, and quitting specific ideas of themselves. Every episode she asks them: which of the options is braver – quitting or sticking with it? And what values do you want to be living into with this choice?  

New episodes every other Monday!
This podcast is produced by Ariana Nedelman.


 
 
 

Hot & Bothered premiered in July 2019. The first season was co-produced with Spoke Media. With guests including Julia Quinn, Alyssa Cole, and Emily Nagoski, Vanessa Zoltan interviewed her friends as they embarked on the process of writing their very first romance novel. In season two, we introduced Hot & Bothered: Twilight in Quarantine. Vanessa and her close friend, Julia Argy, jokingly decided to read the Twilight Saga while quarantined and make it into a podcast. In season three, On Eyre, we brought on journalist Lauren Sandler as a co-host to examine the literary origins of the Romance genre through a close read of Jane Eyre. In season four, Live from Pemberley, Vanessa and Lauren took that same methodology to Pride and Prejudice – reading the book, interviewing Austen scholars, and asking themselves the question 'is this still a story for our time?' In our current season, Vanessa and a new co-host, media studies professor Hannah McGregor, are turning their attention to different Romance movies with the question ‘what does this movie believe about love?’
