In the second half of Taylor Swift’s Red, Madie takes Ren through the 2021 rerecording. Together they talk the highs and lows of the rerecords and discuss how the album, now completed with songs from the vault, manages to capture being “happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.”

Canonically Good Hang is a video podcast hosted by Ren Cottam and Madie Thatcher. Each week, they’ll host a discussion on a load-bearing piece of media, from Taylor Swift albums to early-2000s Disney classics. You can follow them on social media or shoot them an email.
