My guest this week is Naomi Fry, staff writer at The New Yorker.
In our wide-ranging discussion, Fry explores what pop culture can teach us about ourselves, explains why she sees herself as a writer rather than a journalist, and demands answers for how Taylor Swift accomplished what she couldn’t -- even with 25 years of therapy.
