Buy Square Waves today!!! A podcast about where pop culture and sports culture collide… inspired by the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss how the Dodgers are and are not addressing the ICE raids and federal terrorism in Los Angeles; the Rafael Devers saga: the drama in Bean Town; Stanley Cup champions Florida Panthers’ revenge tour; an update on our reigning NBA champion team; the return of witchcraft watch; a WNBA romance hard launch; and we talk to Kate Spencer, author of All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball, about pickleball, romance, and denim shorts on the court.
