Talk To Me Taylor
Hosted by Taylor Ferber · EN
"Don’t tell me what I can and can’t say." Veteran journalist Taylor Ferber wrote this in her unprecedented Playboy feature, challenging the idea that brains and beauty are mutually exclusive, as the only woman who both posed and was a featured writer. After years as Hollywood's "Celebrity Whisperer" who interviewed and humanized the biggest A-listers, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules in politics, media, and pop culture, getting big guests like Blake Shelton, Tucker Carlson, Dave Portnoy, to say what they really think.

Welcome to the Extremes Economy
1w ago00:33:18Tap to summarizeWe don't have conversations anymore. We have extremes. From body positivity and Ariana Grande to trad wife culture and social media bans for kids, I'm asking the question nobody wants to answer: who actually benefits when nuance dies?
Transcribe →But why are we still doing this?
2w ago00:29:43Tap to summarizeI'm sitting on a horse farm in Virginia asking a question I genuinely can't stop thinking about: why are we still doing this? Why do people cling to failing institutions, failing leaders, and failing narratives... and call it progress? From Bari Weiss and legacy media to LA politics and international censorship, let's talk about it. Because maybe it's the farm air, but I'm over it.
Transcribe →Vacation Is a Scam. Off Campus Is Not.
3w ago00:26:20Tap to summarizeI'm coming to you from vacation with a controversial thought: vacation might be wildly... dare I say... overrated. We get into the pressure to relax, why escaping never quite allows you to... escape, the cultural phenomenon (and escapism) of Off Campus, the return of the male gaze, rom-com fantasies, and why the answer might not be vacating your life... but something else altogether.
Transcribe →"Is OF good for the world, or bad for the world?"
May 2200:34:32Tap to summarizeI sit down with iconic journalist Leon Neyfakh and OnlyFans creator/comedian Gracie Canaan to unpack their provocative new Audible series OnlyFantasy. We get into simps, shame, male loneliness, fantasy, AI, digital intimacy, and why OnlyFans isn’t just porn anymore—it’s therapy, attention, escapism, power, and chaos. This conversation went places… outside your DMs.
Transcribe →Hilary Duff: Mother of Ass. Trump: Father of Fertility.
May 1400:29:47Tap to summarizeHilary Duff’s SI cover, Trump calling himself the “father of fertility,” my egg-freezing journey, Ozempic amnesia culture, dead comedy, millennial responsibility, and the return of ass discourse. Just another COMPLETELY normal episode of Talk To Me Taylor!
Transcribe →Mean Girls Never Died. They Just Got WiFi.
May 700:42:22Tap to summarizeTonight we revisit a four-year-old Hollywood interview that somehow feels more relevant now. From mean girl culture and “authenticity” becoming performance art to sexy vs. smart, online identity, Gen Z anxiety, Sydney Sweeney discourse, and why grown women still police each other like it’s middle school with WiFi—this episode spirals through womanhood, the algorithm, and the exhausting theater of modern life.Also: why AI writes like a victimized HR department, why “authentic” content feels fake now too, and why maybe we should all just cut each other some slack already.
Transcribe →First Company Fired by AI… (PS- He Worked There)
Apr 3000:27:02Tap to summarizeA Silicon Valley OG (who literally worked recruiting for the company now being crushed by AI) joins me to break down the madness… and why it’s just the beginning. From PayPal and Tesla stories to jobs, hype cycles, and robot baristas, we get into whether we’re heading for Westworld or just another tech bubble. If you still think AI is “coming,” you’re already behind, babe.
Transcribe →Book Burning Is BS. But Are "Bestsellers" Too?
Apr 2300:39:15Tap to summarizeBook Club but make it hot. We’re told what to read. We’re told what’s “banned.” And we’re definitely told what’s a bestseller. But what if all of it is… kinda BS? In this episode, I dive into all of it with Tyler Wagner, founder of publisher Authors Unite, who’s seen exactly how the game is played. Plus, I weigh in on the trending stories everyone’s talking about, from continuous Unwell podcast drama to Russell Brand's culture war chaos, and what they actually reveal beneath the surface. A page-turner if you ask me ;)
Transcribe →Alex v. Alix (Taylor's Version)
Apr 1700:36:07Tap to summarizeFrom fake influencers to the Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle drama, why this moment has a chokehold on culture. This isn’t just petty podcast beef. It’s about authenticity, power, money, and the performance of being “real” in a world that profits off the opposite. From behind-the-scenes industry receipts to my own run-in with Barstool during the original Call Her Daddy chaos… yeah, I’ve got thoughts.
Transcribe →Tech bros are "mothering" AI now… K
Apr 1700:41:55Tap to summarizeYou’re either scared of AI… or you’re not paying attention. Tonight we go there, with the women actually building it, including the CEO and VP of Twin Protocol. From “tech bros birthing AI” (yes, really) to whether we’re creating an entirely new species, this conversation spirals into power, identity, gender dynamics, and who should really be shaping the future of intelligence. And if AI is coming for your job… you’re welcome? Spoiler: it’s not just Silicon Valley anymore. If AI is the next electricity… are you plugging in or getting left in the dark?
