The one about poems, power & prestige tv

Thought of You is a monthly, longform podcast where we, Taylor + Amelia, unpack what’s going on in our worlds and on the internet.

This month we:

📣 Share our First Thoughts/Best Thoughts

⭕️ Circle back to our sumptuous Alinea meal and the Telepathy Tapes

🦈 Swap highlighted passages from Careless People (what a ride!) and ponder when it’s okay to criticize women

🏴‍☠️ Our books were pirated, and now Meta’s AI has them. Do we care?

📺 Chat about the prestige TV we’ve been watching. Also, who do we think dies in White Lotus?

🚨Spoiler Alert!🚨
