Book Club but make it hot. We’re told what to read. We’re told what’s “banned.” And we’re definitely told what’s a bestseller. But what if all of it is… kinda BS? In this episode, I dive into all of it with Tyler Wagner, founder of publisher Authors Unite, who’s seen exactly how the game is played. Plus, I weigh in on the trending stories everyone’s talking about, from continuous Unwell podcast drama to Russell Brand's culture war chaos, and what they actually reveal beneath the surface. A page-turner if you ask me ;)

From fake influencers to the Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle drama, why this moment has a chokehold on culture. This isn’t just petty podcast beef. It’s about authenticity, power, money, and the performance of being “real” in a world that profits off the opposite. From behind-the-scenes industry receipts to my own run-in with Barstool during the original Call Her Daddy chaos… yeah, I’ve got thoughts.

You’re either scared of AI… or you’re not paying attention. Tonight we go there, with the women actually building it, including the CEO and VP of Twin Protocol. From “tech bros birthing AI” (yes, really) to whether we’re creating an entirely new species, this conversation spirals into power, identity, gender dynamics, and who should really be shaping the future of intelligence. And if AI is coming for your job… you’re welcome? Spoiler: it’s not just Silicon Valley anymore. If AI is the next electricity… are you plugging in or getting left in the dark?

Tonight, an OG viewer of mine and I meet for the first time and talk: podcasters taken as the gospel, Nikki Glaser vs. the feminists, Iran, the Jew hate trend, and his personal story as a writer suggesting cancel culture isn’t dead, it just got a rebrand.

Inviting you on my couch and saying what some people with money hope you won’t. I get into the deals that went sideways, the audacity I dealt with, and why I still walked away. Because you can get rich... without acting like a bitch. Unless you're 50 Cent, ofc. Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

Is this thing on? Nothing like coming back from a hiatus with a ring on your finger, an identity crisis, a broken setup, and just enough delusion to hit “go live.” And no better person to be joined by than Hollywood royalty Marki Costello, who quite literally teaches the A-listers how to be real on camera. From highlight-reel deceit to crying to strangers (yes, plural), this episode is what happens when you stop pretending you have it together… and hit record anyway. Ie; the part they don't show you.

Comedy legend Wanda Sykes joins me alongside director Tamika Miller to talk about her first major dramatic turn in UNDERCARD—and why real grit still matters in the age of instant fame. We get into breaking out of boxes (sometimes of our own mind...), the discipline nobody wants to talk about, and what it actually takes to build something with longevity and legend status. If you think viral equals valuable… this conversation might humble you just a lil. Welcome to Talk To Me Taylor. Follow me: IG: @talktometaylor X: @TaylorFerber TikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

There’s a quiet arms race happening... and it’s not about money. Or ideology. Or clicks. Tonight we clock the desperation and posturing from the true flex. Let the games begin.Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

AI is accelerating, the media circus is circling, and humanity is… not exactly passing the vibe check. Tonight I break down the viral AI essay everyone’s panicking over, the grift economy that’s exhausting us all, and why the real battle isn’t humans vs. robots. It’s humans vs. themselves.

Tonight I’m back from algorithmic hell leave and NyQuil purgatory with a guest who does not do platitudes. TEDx speaker, veteran, and founder of InFLOWential, Stacy Raske, joins me to dissect the collapse of influencer culture, toxic positivity, laziness, AND hustle, self-help delusion, quiet power in a doing-the-most world, and why most “authentic” branding is just good marketing. Also a bit of her living-proof personal story and how she 5x’d her business by eliminating funnels and try-hard sales energy altogether. This is not manifestation mumbo jumbo. It’s just popping the matrix bubble. Cancel us later.Follow me: IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok:  @TalkToMeTaylor 

Well, folks. She done did it again! After her viral Grammys red carpet moment last night, Joy Villa joins me in the first interview to talk about what REALLY happened behind the scenes... and when you break Hollywood’s unwritten rules. We get into performative activism, silent blacklists, fake rebellion, and why the industry celebrates “expression” until it makes them uncomfortable. This isn’t about the dress. It’s about the cost of stepping out of line.Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

Tonight I present: zero patience for performative nonsense. First, giving rapid-style Hot Take Taylors on: Sydney's SYRN vs Kim's SKIMS, ICE, Nicki Trump, the weird Erik Kirk fetish, and feminism gone retarded. Then I'm joined by the iconic Thom Brodeur, the CEO and President of MISS USA, for a refreshingly sane conversation about rejecting labels, refusing to tokenize people, and feminism for people whose brains aren't fried. Your ears can thank us for the most sensible thinking you'll hear today.Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

Tonight I’m joined by Nate Jones, the CEO of Xlear Inc., who stared down the FTC in a lawsuit and didn’t blink. We talk US exiting the WHO, pandemic psy-ops, why doctors don’t understand nutrition, the "body positivity" scam, RFK Jr's food pyramid, America’s biggest hidden illness, and why basic hygiene threatens billion-dollar industries. If you were ever told “trust the science” while your instincts screamed otherwise, this episode is for you.Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor

Everyone’s mad, no one’s consistent, and looks like we’re still all experts in other people’s lives. Tonight I’m talking sex, power, shame, internet outrage, fake feminism, and why control keeps masquerading as compassion. From Sydney Sweeney to Pam Anderson to OnlyFans discourse, this episode is about who actually gets to decide what’s what, and why the internet loses its mind when women stop asking permission. If you’re here to be mad, you’ll still have a great time. 😘Follow me:IG: @talktometaylorX: @TaylorFerberTikTok: @TalkToMeTaylor
