I’ve very much been looking to this episode chatting Song of the Summer with Ellie Lin, and it did not disappoint.
We chat about whether the concept is dead, how other monocultural events — including last year’s election — impact the Song of the Summer, and cast our ballots for what THE song of summer 2025 was.
Check out my socials to fill out your own ballot and the playlist we put together with all the songs we mentioned.
Belated edition of the newsletter plus my “What I Leik’d” for July/August will come within the week.
Looking for folks who’d be interested in talking about any of these topics in the coming months for the podcast:
* Teenage love triangle shows (esp. The Summer I Turned Pretty and My Life With the Walter Boys)
* Romantasy/fantasy books in general
* The Life of a Showgirl + Taylor/Travis engagement
* Sports WAGs in general
* Him (2025) + Sports movies
* Bruce Springsteen & Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
And as always, I’m open to other topics, too! Whatever pop culture gossip, movie, album, whatever is itching your brain — let’s chat about it and see if I Leik it, too!
Thanks for reading You Leik That? ! This post is public so feel free to share it.
