Popcast (Deluxe): Taylor Swift and Matty Healy, Plus ‘The Idol’

This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly culture roundup show hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, includes segments on:

  • The premiere episode of HBO’s “The Idol,” a maybe(?) satirical psychodrama about a troubled female pop star and the Svengali figure, played by the Weeknd, who worms his way into her orbit

  • New collaborations from Latto and Cardi B, and Central Cee and Dave

  • Recent developments in Taylor Swift’s world, including blowback from her relationship with Matty Healy of the 1975, and her collaboration with Ice Spice

  • The pop music documentary explosion of the last few years
