Description

Get ready to turn the volume up! Liv and Tori have a lot to say (and play) in this episode of With Honors. From their favorite study tunes to the songs they swear belong on a Great Gatsby playlist, these two bring energy, insight, and more than a few strong opinions. They talk through how music shapes their focus during classwork, why certain lyrics feel tailor-made for Gatsby’s world, and how personal anthems help define who they are. Along the way, they connect attitudes of beauty and romance from Fitzgerald’s novel to the music that moves them most. It’s a smart, spirited conversation that blends literary analysis with genuine personality, exactly what the kids on With Honors do best.
