Where Does Phoebe Bridgers Go From Here?
Podcast dissections of the biggest indie-rock comeback of the year, a rap comeback we didn’t know we needed, and a reality-TV comeback we might not want at all
The concept behind our podcast Waste or Taste is simple: Every episode, a group of Hearing Things founders gets together, with each person bringing a new song to the table. Then we debate whether those songs are “waste” or “taste.” Sometimes we reach a critical consensus; other times there’s fisticuffs, absurdity, or both.

On this episode, Jill, Dylan, and Julianne take on Tierra Whack’s bar-a-thon “Siren,” Phoebe Bridgers’s Game of Thrones-coded comeback single “Lost Boys,” and controversial Love Island bombshell Huda Mustafa’s possibly-AI-enabled TikTok hit “Rotation.” Bonus topics include: being at the Webbys with the Philly rapper Freeway, 2000s-ass indie-rock horns, and why Conor Oberst might be the ultimate lost boy.
Waste or Taste is available to paying subscribers only—so now’s the time to join our ever-growing community of music obsessives!
