Our Most Controversial Faves of 2025

Episode 10

Friday, January 2, 2026 • Duration 01:03:40

And we're back! In this year-end-ish episode, the whole Hearing Things crew—Jill Mapes, Andy Cush, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, Ryan Dombal, and Dylan Green—get together to decide whether guilty pleasures by Sabrina Carpenter, Ian, Ice Spice, Raye, and Zeddy Will are Waste or Taste. Topics include bodegas of Wyoming, why the rugby term "flanker" sounds like a slur, and whether it's possible to like a song even if you think its lyrics and melodies suck.

Programming note: This episode of Waste or Taste is available to everyone, but moving forward only paying subscribers will have access to the podcast. So if you like what you hear, consider joining our ever-growing community of music obsessives at hearingthings.co.
