In this episode, the Pop Till We Droppers weigh in on mega-artists switching genres, i.e. Taylor Swift. Shelby feels manipulated, and compares Swift's 'career shift' to local singer songwriter Caroline Smith, who made a similar move.

Alex contrasts the college 'binge drinking' phenomenon with the excessive adult imbibing that's sanctioned by pedal pubs and party buses.

And in the wake of the celebrity hacking incident, Tess wonders whether privacy even exists anymore.
