Show Notes

Shane examines the success of Taylor Swift and goes on to create his own country and western song aimed at fighting the heteronormative structures that have plagued the genre for too long. The LGBTQ+ inclusive nature of the track also just so happens to be a commercially attractive option. Pure coincidence of course.  

Our hero works with expert erotic writers, leather chapped cowboys and AI musicians to launch this next stage of his career.
