Taylor Ferber
Talk To Me Taylor
"Don’t tell me what I can and can’t say." Veteran journalist Taylor Ferber wrote this in her unprecedented Playboy feature, challenging the idea that brains and beauty are mutually exclusive, as the only woman who both posed and was a featured writer. After years as Hollywood's "Celebrity Whisperer" who interviewed and humanized the biggest A-listers, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules in politics, media, and pop culture, getting big guests like Blake Shelton, Tucker Carlson, Dave Portnoy, to say what they really think.

Ep 93: These Kids Will Never Know... 15.10.2021 35:54
I know a place where G Unit was a lullaby and Eurotrip was a bedtime story. It's the 2000's. IG Reels and Tik Toks about discovering the true, dirty meaning of '00s hits are all the rage right now, and here's the NSFW version of that concept. Kids these days are scared of their own shadow, imagine if they had to put the work in to actually burn a CD off Limewire... about hoes in different area cod...
Ep 92: Will You Be the Chappelle to My Netflix? 12.10.2021 38:56
Some view "progress" as pulling Dave Chappelle's Netflix special. Others, like myself, view progress as actually making a joke. Our society seems to want to dictate not only what we can think but what we can laugh at, and all I can say is icons like Richard Pryor are looking down on us from comedy heaven wondering wtf is going on. Throw Christopher Columbus in there too since he's fucked anyway.
Bonus Ep: Power in a Pushup Bra ft. Misha Reeves 30.09.2021 16:55
Male gaze, shmale gaze as far as I'm concerned. Check out this fun, short and sweet chat with rockstar actress Misha Reeves, star of the new edgy, horror, dark comedy VAL -- that, btw, has an old Hollywood glam vibe that is the aesthetic of your gothic wet dreams. We talk about indie movies getting away with more than the mainstream, the glory of channeling classic Mae West hotness, and more. VAL...
Ep 91: Be Hotter or Be Cancelled 28.09.2021 51:47
In the social event of your lives, Cancel Me, Baby! meets Behind the Velvet Rope for a discussion on Hollywood, its PR machines, and blacklisting for non-hot people that'll blow the lid off this joint that is entertainment's inner working yet AGAIN. Featuring David Yontef, the mastermind behind the super successful show Behind the Velvet Rope, we're going there and we're not scared. And yes I mean...
Ep 90: I Get By With a Little Less F*cks From My Friends 24.09.2021 24:36
Your local high school is Hollywood. The movie industry the unattainable, cool, bad boy while the music biz is the dude stuffing dick pics in your locker. Point is, we can smell desperation from a mile away, and on this special Friday ep I debrief my new Amazon junket interview and further explore why things like Bridgerton keep me drooling but the VMAs sex show leaves much to be desired, with a b...
Bonus Ep: Doing Black Swan's Lesbian Scene Proud with "Birds of Paradise" Stars 23.09.2021 14:53
Join me in a brief chat with stars Diana Silvers (Booksmart), Kristine Froseth (Hulu's Looking for Alaska), and writer/director Sarah Adina Smith (FX’s Legion, HBO’s Room 104), about their edgy new Amazon Prime movie Birds of Paradise. In a world that is SHAMEless (see: VMAs in ep. 88), I give them kudos for not delivering gratuitous sex scenes for shock value. This chat definitely gave me inspira...
Ep 89: Make Hollywood Watchable Again 21.09.2021 37:29
Award show ratings are getting dragged more than Nicki Minaj by the mean angry mob, but FEAR NOT you dinosaur networks, I have some ideas. Can't wait for my royalties xo
Ep 88: Tax the Person Advising Celebrity Ideas 15.09.2021 42:40
What AOC's Met Gala dress, constant celebrity tonsil hockey, and Tik Tok influencers have in common: a thesis.
Ep 87: You Gotta Fight! For Your Right!..... To Virtue Signal I Guess 08.09.2021 35:58
My body, my choice! .... but wait, let’s mandate that other stuff. Um, what? It feels like causes celebs support (or don't) are constantly at odds and keeping up with their horseplay is starting to feel more convoluted than all 2 hours and 28 minutes minutes of Inception. Someone make it make sense.
Ep 86: Gen Z: Team No Fun, or 2 Cool 4 You? 24.08.2021 52:58
Hide yo filter, hide yo Tik Tok. We have a Gen Z in the AIM (if only) chat. This week I'm getting cancelled with Sophie Beren, CEO and founder of the platform The Conversationalist... and boy oh boy, do we converse. From celeb virtue signaling to Tik Tok fame and Gen Z's existential dread, the hot takes make your favorite Bridgerton sex scene look tame.
Ep 85: Why the Eff(boy) Are We the Way We Are? 17.08.2021 33:22
FBoy me once, shame on you. FBoy me twice, you're a reality TV internet superstar. The latest obscure dating competition fad, HBO's FBoy Island, has me asking all sorts of questions about our reality TV trajectory (and weird effing obsession), how shallow our culture is, and if spotlighting these f-boys is really feminist or good for women. Time to face the music, ladies. Or in this case... your d...
Ep 84: Spotted: Andrew Cuomo's Emmy at My Local Tag Sale 11.08.2021 35:29
Despite political lines, can't we all agree the losers need to go? Silly Taylor. It seems that no, no we cannot. Your huckleberry tea is scorching today as I unveil stories of my firsthand experiences in Hollywood and with celebs when Time's Up first came about, and why, especially in the Cuomo saga, they continue to make me feel less optimistic about the "movement" than I should be. Wid...
Ep 83: Mo Money, Mo Problems, a Disney Original Soundtrack 05.08.2021 33:06
So Disney screwed over ScarJo's finances from her work on Black Widow, eh? Well that makes two of us. Come along with me on this unexpected journey through Mickey's fun house as I get to the ugly truth of this lawsuit war that'll leave all seven dwarves shaking in their sad little boots.
Ep 82: Bennifer Upstaging Your Life Photoshoots: The Audacity 28.07.2021 31:41
You can judge J.Lo and Ben Affleck for putting all their personal shiz out there (again), but are you really that much better? In this ep, I share my intimate experiences meeting and reporting on both of these celebs and ask: Is it the chicken or the egg when it comes to consuming and perpetuating this obsession with sharing every detail of our personal lives with the world?
Ep 81: Is That a Gun in Your Pocket, or Are You Just a Hot Old Man? 22.07.2021 39:08
Dolly Parton's fire Playboy cover recreation this week got me thinking about age and sex. Ageism is a constant talking point in Hollywood, especially in men versus women. But is there merit in the double standards, cliches, and taboos?
Ep 80: Time To Actually Hear Britney, Bitch 20.07.2021 31:50
If running with narratives was a sport, the media would be an Olympic superstar. And in this #FreeBritney moment, it's time we actually listen to what Britney Spears is saying and quit making her conservatorship about something it's not.
Ep 79: The Therapist Couch... With a Twist (ft. VH1's Dr. Jenn) 01.07.2021 45:08
Reality star Courtney Stodden has become the face of Chrissy Teigen's bullying fallout and her therapist from VH1's Couples Therapy, Dr. Jenn Mann, has entered the chat. The celeb psychotherapist and I dive deeper into some of the mainstream media's favorite narratives and why they just. won't. quit. Why do people like Chrissy get away with it? What makes certain public targets "OK" to shit on? Ar...
Ep 78: Move Over PizzaGate, This Is PsychicGate 29.06.2021 51:42
The stars have aligned, and they're telling us our current culture isn't trash for nothing. No-BS celebrity medium Chris Medina -- not your father's psychic -- sheds light on why we're dealing with this PC, cancellation climate chaos and where it's all going. Chris is over the woke, and he's over coddling you. So grab your crystals and your panties, cover your tarot cards' ears, and brace yourselv...
Ep 77: The Teen Mom Who Won't Be Cancelled (ft. Farrah Abraham) 24.06.2021 35:15
Farrah Abraham's been two things: controversial and on both sides of cancel culture. She's one of the women Chrissy Teigen publicly attacked. But she's also someone people have called a "homophobic, racist, bully." In this revealing, no-BS chat, the OG Teen Mom tells her side of her past behavior, not wanting Chrissy cancelled, fake Hollywood feminists, and her overall growth. PLUS, Britney's cons...
Ep 76: Lost My Victoria's Secret Angel Wings In The Heights 22.06.2021 27:49
The Victoria's Secret Angel is becoming a thing of the past... like my prior wokeness. Yes, folks. I used to be woke. Like, the wokest. It's a personal discovery that started with angels in the VS heavens and took me through Lin Miranda-Manuel's (recently criticized) Washington Heights. And it leaves me wondering: Did I, and others like me, change? Or did the woke just forget what it wants to be?
Ep 75: 3 Dudes and a Chick Walk Into a Bar... 15.06.2021 59:59
Listen in to a no holds barred talk on masculinity, Me Too, objectification, and more (ft. two media professionals and a listener). We go there. And watch how these guys of different races, ages, professions, situations, AND political affiliations see eye to eye on so many current topics around men. Together we'll smash the patriarc-- the... you know, the thing.
Ep 74: Talking With a Black Widow, Baby 11.06.2021 36:45
How my new sit-down interview with the director of Marvel's Black Widow got me thinking about the future of movies, art, society, relationships, and yes, our lives. (Disclosure: No Avengers were harmed in the making of my sex dreams discussed in this ep.)
Ep 73: All Aboard from Appropriation Station 01.06.2021 45:20
What do Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, and Nicki Minaj have in common? For one, they're cooler than you. But they've also all been accused of the a-word. It's like we need an instruction manual to navigate appropriation these days, but when all we want is for our cultures to be seen and appreciated, is this really helping?
Ep 72: In a World of Karens, Be a Thelma & Louise 25.05.2021 28:29
It's been 30 years since the revolutionary Thelma & Louise premiered. Let's celebrate! Wait..... mainstream media says not so fast. (We haven't come far enough since then, they say.) Are women just always going to see themselves as victims? These two are rolling in their fictional grave.
Ep 71: Got Cock Blocked By Candace Owens, But It's Not About That 14.05.2021 36:21
This week, Candace Owens took the credit for exposing Chrissy Teigen's bullying behavior -- behavior I called out years ago on a mainstream platform, which led me to get public blowback from Chrissy. You could see my predicament. But this story isn't about Candace, about Chrissy, or about me... moreover, it's about social media, ego, and where we're all failing.
