36. The Unhinged Art of Showing Up as Yourself, with Taylor Brooke

Show Notes

Ep.36: Taylor Brooke is the kind of host who can have you cackling over a rant about Staples one minute and tearing up over purpose and creative calling the next. In this episode, I sit down with the voice behind Taylor, Taylor, Taylor to talk about what really goes into building a show that’s unhinged in the best way, fiercely women-centered without being exclusionary, and grounded in a sense of purpose bigger than the algorithm. We get into the pressure of staying “on brand” as a blonde media girl, the anxiety of letting other people touch your work, and how she’s learning to scale a show without losing the raw honesty that makes people feel like they’re on the phone with their funniest friend.

We Chat About:

How Taylor, Taylor, Taylor became a space where guests can “expect the unexpected”
Why her solo “Sunday Spiral” episodes resonate so deeply with listeners
The mission to support English schools in Bangladesh and why it matters to her
The episode she’s most proud of so far and what made it different
Lessons from working in Philly radio and taking the training wheels off
Her research process and the advice she gives young women in media
Growing up in a music-heavy household and releasing her own song “Parking Lot”

About Taylor Brooke:

Taylor’s got the charm of your funniest friend, the wisdom of someone who’s Googled it at 2 a.m., and the guts to spill the tea on her own life, embarrassing moments and all. Whether she’s interviewing intriguing guests, sharing industry secrets, roasting pop culture, or riffing on whatever’s trending, she’ll have you hooked faster than you can say “Taylor” (three times, obviously). It’s equal parts laugh therapy, real talk, and the kind of chaos you didn’t know you needed in your life.
