On the debut episode of Bants, Justin and Geoff tackle Madonna’s free Brazil show and the early hours of the Met Gala before diving into their main topic: Dua Lipa’s new album, Radical Optimism. Can Dua compete with the juggernaut Taylor Swift album The Tortured Poets Department,which dropped just a couple weeks earlier? We discuss, in detail. (Swifties, we love you, please don’t dox us).
