Our Editor's Take

Space Swifties: A Star Wars + Taylor Swift Podcast is a fun mashup podcast. The hosts are Meg Dowell and Davor Mondom.

Meg is a writer and content creator. Davor works at Syracuse University. The two met and fell in love over their shared passion for Star Wars and podcasting. They have worked on other Star Wars-themed podcasts, like A Larger View of the Force and Now This Is Lit. The two married on May 4, "Star Wars Day."

Space Swifties: A Star Wars + Taylor Swift Podcast is for Star Wars fans who also love the music of Taylor Swift. The first episode of the podcast is "Sacred New Beginnings." In it, Davor and Meg explain the connection between the two phenomena at great length. But it's clear that in the end, the couple are fans of both, and want to share their adoration using a familiar medium

New episodes come out every month, each lasting about one hour. In "Guilt by Association," the cohosts use their encyclopedic knowledge for good. They associate key Star Wars moments with the right Taylor song. A conversation between young Anakin and Padme is set to "Should've Said No." "Sweet Nothing" reflects Leia's plight.

Fresh from their own nuptials, Meg and Davor have an episode on weddings. They talk about the three weddings in the Star Wars series. They try to decide on which Taylor tune would make the best first dance song for each of the weddings. In another episode, they discuss seeing Taylor in concert on her latest tour.

Some of the discussion on Space Swifties is more focused on this universe. Meg and Davor discuss the latest gossip about Taylor's tumultuous love life. They gush over her new album and record-breaking, chart-busting success. They also chime in on setlists for the Eras Tour.

Space Swifties: A Star Wars + Taylor Swift Podcast is a bold attempt to connect two pop culture sensations. It takes extensive knowledge of Taylor's discography and the Star Wars universe to make this happen. Meg and Davor have that knowledge and are happy to share it with other fans.
