S1 Ep 783The story of Scooter

E

Hello! On today’s show, one of the biggest news stories of the year happened last week when Taylor Swift purchased her master recordings. This story drowned out almost everything in its wake, so you might’ve missed Scooter Braun’s two-hour interview with Diary of a CEO which also dropped last week. The timing of it all got us thinking: who *is* Scooter Braun? Like, is he really *that* bad? We’re going to look at his relationship to Taylor, Justin Bieber, and his other A-list clients to see if we can figure this guy out… On today’s episode, Eilish recommended ‘Did She or Didn’t She? She Did, and She’ll Tell You Exactly How’ in the New York Times. Big thanks to Daily Blooms for making today’s episode of Shameless possible – gorgeous, locally made flowers delivered to your door, same day.
