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.

Hilary Duff: Mother of Ass. Trump: Father of Fertility.
2w ago00:29:47Tap 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.
3w ago00:42:22Tap 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?
Transcribe →Everyone’s a Thought Leader Now… Maybe That’s the Problem
Apr 900:41:46Tap to summarizeTonight, an OG viewer of mine and I meet for the first time and talk: podcasters taken as the gospel, Nikki Glaser vs. the feminists, Iran, the Jew hate trend, and his personal story as a writer suggesting cancel culture isn’t dead, it just got a rebrand.

Transcribe →Be Rich, Not a Bitch
Apr 300:40:53Tap to summarizeInviting you on my couch and saying what some people with money hope you won’t. I get into the deals that went sideways, the audacity I dealt with, and why I still walked away. Because you can get rich... without acting like a bitch. Unless you're 50 Cent, ofc.

Transcribe →I got engaged... then shit got real
Apr 300:44:47Tap to summarizeIs this thing on?Nothing like coming back from a hiatus with a ring on your finger, an identity crisis, a broken setup, and just enough delusion to hit “go live.” And no better person to be joined by than Hollywood royalty Marki Costello, who quite literally teaches the A-listers how to be real on camera. From highlight-reel deceit to crying to strangers (yes, plural), this episode is what happens when you stop pretending you have it together… and hit record anyway. Ie; the part they don't show you.

Transcribe →Icon Wanda Sykes vs. the Microwave Fame Era
Feb 2700:30:07Tap to summarizeComedy legend Wanda Sykes joins me alongside director Tamika Miller to talk about her first major dramatic turn in UNDERCARD—and why real grit still matters in the age of instant fame. We get into breaking out of boxes (sometimes of our own mind...), the discipline nobody wants to talk about, and what it actually takes to build something with longevity and legend status. If you think viral equals valuable… this conversation might humble you just a lil. Welcome to Talk To Me Taylor. Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor
