August – The Folklore Love Triangle Part 1

The Swiftie and The Scholar

Friends, it's finally here! Over the next three episodes, we are diving into our beloved Folklore Love Triangle. First up is August. Uncle Jerry begins by talking about the narrative of these three songs and how they are woven together across the album, and then we dissect the poem of August. 

These three episodes will all build on each other, and we’ll round out the discussion in week 3.
