My most optimistic journalism take:

[໊ @yspsfagsil]

Popcast interviewers confirm that even a-list celebrities aren't allowed to approve questions or pictures in their show, and they have even cancelled interviews when they were asked to not ask some questions.

[Semafor @semafor]

🟡 @joncaramanica and @joecoscarelli of The New York Times’ Popcast show join Mixed Signals to talk to @maxwelltani and @semaforben about how a two-decade-old music podcast became one of the most coveted interview slots in music — landing Taylor Swift, A$AP Rocky, Olivia Rodrigo, and Bad Bunny — by offering something most celebrity press won't: no question approval, no topic restrictions, and critics who've actually been covering these artists for years.

I spoke to “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson before & after the final season and found him to be super game in engaging with the (many, passionate) critiques of the show… 

the 2 topics hardest for me to pin him down on: Labrinth & Rue’s/the show’s latent Jewishness 🤷‍♂️ what I got:

After 11 years, thousands of articles, 11 Taylor Swift album releases, one of the biggest trials in music history and more traumatizing deaths than one pop music editor could fathom, I have decided to leave The New York Times.

[Joe Coscarelli @joecoscarelli]

@MuellerNadia @stevonaj @JOHUAsa this is a big misunderstanding… none of the ‘Canadians’ are on the list

my point was that if we bent the rule for Joni, which we ultimately did not, Drake should have gotten in on the same logic (also never once mentioned ghostwriters in this part of the convo)

[Joe Coscarelli @joecoscarelli]

oops we yelled about it

Future 
Justin Vernon
Billie Joe Armstrong
Miranda Lambert 
Katie Crutchfield 
NBA YoungBoy 

(fwiw)

[Joe Coscarelli @joecoscarelli]

Kathleen Hanna
Lil Wayne 
Joanna Newsom

Tracy Chapman + David Byrne (Scot?), I get it

(Kanye and Beyoncé are [executive] producers to me but I’d hear the argument that this is a kind of postmodern songwriting, like rap’s ‘anti’-writers)

[Joe Coscarelli @joecoscarelli]

@Steven_Hyden which Drake songs do you think are disqualified on this basis

[Joe Coscarelli @joecoscarelli]

@theneedledrop correct, the conversation excerpted here was about the negotiations at the time, when some of us argued that if Joni counted as an American for citizenship/longterm roots/more abstract reasons then so could Drake… we ultimately decided neither were eligible!
