Podcasts about talk direction

Cherry Song Discussion! We delve into the lyrics (french voice memo included), the lovely instrumental, and all the harmonies. We break down the emotions of the song and how well the sound production portrays them. Lucia plays clips from the Tiny Desk Concert version and it is lovely. Plus in the beginning we make some announcements about Talk Direction going forward. We are going to be pausing the Patreon for now and recording with less pressure and less frequency. Listen for more details!

It is GRAMMYS WEEK here on Talk Direction and Oh My God was it exciting! Harry Styles is the first member of One Direction to attend, perform at, and WIN at the Grammys. There was SO much to discuss: -Harry wore three different Gucci looks over the course of the night, all topped with colorful boas. Most notably, his performance look was a leather suit, no top, and green boa. -Harry opened the Grammys with a sultry version of Watermelon Sugar, arranged by singer/songwriter/producer Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange). We are obsessed and NEED Harry to work with Hynes more going forward. -Side Note: Sarah Jones, Harry’s drummer, smashed it on the drums in a full leather suit (gloves included) while very much pregnant! -Harry’s performance pod included HAIM, Black Pumas, and Billie Eilish, all of whom watched each other perform. -Harry won Best Pop Solo Performance for Watermelon Sugar and looked completely shocked. First of many to come in our opinions! -Finally we discuss the #Haylor (Harry & Taylor) and #Hizzo (Harry & Lizzo) moments of the night. Both Taylor and Lizzo looked FABULOUS and their support for Harry was truly lovely. Check out Talk Direction Down Low (TDDL) on patreon.com/talkdirection for EXTRA PODCAST CONTENT!!

Harry Styles made his solo debut in Another Man magazine and it's -- unsurprisingly -- INCREDIBLE. So incredible, in fact, we needed two episodes to talk about it fully! This one, part one, is about all the photos and the Harry archive. Look forward to part two (all about the interviews and Gemma's piece) tomorrow! Also, you can find a link to a downloadable word document of all the pictures from the magazine on our twitter (@Talk_Direction) so you can follow along! (And don't worry-- an episode about Niall Horan's new single 'This Town' is coming your way soon!)

On Episode 22 of Pop Unmuted, Scott Interrante and Kurt Trowbridge explore the popular conspiracy theory known as Larry Stylinson, which suggests that Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles from One Direction are in a romantic relationship, forced in the closet by their management. We talk to Helena Dare-Edwards, who recently received her Ph.D. in Media Studies and has written extensively about Larry and One Direction, Caitlin Foster who co-hosts the Talk Direction podcast, Jessica Leski, a documentary film-maker working on a film called I Used To Be Norma: A Boyband Fangirl Story", and MaryClare, whose tumblr Louis and the Alien has a post exploring the mysterious gay teddy bear mascots of One Direction. Scott and Kurt also talk about the sensitive subject of questioning the validity of Louis's recently born son.

A couple weeks ago we were very excited to be featured in this Buzzfeed list of fan podcasts you should be listening to! Also on the list was Talk Direction, a fan-run podcast just like us who covers all things 1D.

This episode of Talk Direction we discuss Liam's Attitude Magazine interview, a possible new music video, and all the details of our On the Road Again Boston show!

After being reunited for one glorious episode, we’re separated again— this time by a hefty 3401 miles. But it’s for a good reason, Caitlin’s in England! She had to go through hell and high-water and a rude concierge to get wifi but no worries, she got it and we were able to talk about the new single! Thank you Internet for making it possible to talk about One Direction even while we’re on different continents. This week on Talk Direction we discuss Louis becoming a prince (even though he’s already king of our hearts), the whole thing with Zayn tweeting #realmusic, and of course, the surprise new single Drag Me Down! On this episode— - Louis is hosting a Cinderella ball for a charity called ‘Believe in Magic.’ We sincerely hope that he’ll dress up as Prince Charming. - Zayn officially signed on to RCA records and talked about his decision on twitter. The #realmusic hashtag he added to one of his tweets had some fans a bit upset. We have differing opinions on the situation which always makes for an interesting discussion. - In other Zayn News— Zayn is working with Frank Ocean’s producer! We’d love a #Zank collaboration sometime in the future. - We also talk about some racist comments someone made towards Zayn on twitter and how he handled them. - Our main discussion this week is of course about the single that One Direction Beyoncéd and dropped out of nowhere, Drag Me Down! - We tried to cover it all— where we were when we first heard it, our initial reactions, whether we’d like the whole album to be in a similar style, our ideal music video, and Harry’s life-changing giggle at the end. - We also read out some of the feedback we received! It was really exciting to know that people wanted to hear our reactions to the song! - QUESTION OF THE WEEK: - Where were you when you first heard about the single? Please let us know!

This week on Talk Direction we’ll be covering what One Direction song ended up in Rolling Stone’s top 25 songs of the year, the Zayn/Naughty Boy twitter drama and what the 1D concert setlist would look like in our ideal universe. (just so you guys know– this was pre-recorded on Saturday so we’ll read out all the answers to our Zayn Question of the Week on the next episode! Don’t think we forgot about you! And thank you so much to those of you who wrote us!) In this episode: - We talk about one of the songs from FOUR being named Rolling Stones 25 Best Songs of 2015 and whether or not we agree with the song choice. - The boys are up for six Teen Choice Awards, including “Choice Selfie Takers” – a prestigious and highly esteemed accolade. - Zayn’s on the cover of Asians UK magazine – alone. - There have been rumors floating around about Zayn going into fashion, we talk about how we feel about it. - We discuss Liam being an endearing little puppy recently (That shower video?

We talk about the goals of the program, what we hope comes out of it, and the criticism 1D has faced for their involvement. - Our main discussion was a really fun one for us! We each made our ideal One Direction setlist and compared our answers. We actually didn’t have as much overlap as we thought we would. We’d love to hear what yours would be! (Surprisingly ours wasn’t just No Control 25 times in a row) - Although we recorded this episode on Saturday, we HAD to record an updated segment to talk about the Zaughty twitter drama. - Tweet of the week is back and better than ever (not really, but like, it’s back) This week’s 1D Recommendations– - Caitlin: check out the #1DRoast on twitter - Cara: What Makes You Bootyful Blogilates workout video QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - What would your perfect 1D setlist look like?

It’s strange to see Zayn listed separately from the rest of the boys, isn’t it? - Niall and Louis had a little lads’ day out at Glastonbury Music Festival. They were seen watching James Bay’s set. He’s great, we recommend you check him out! - We get a bit of fifth album news! We talk about Liam’s “we finished it in a month” statement as well as the possibility of a summer single! (And maybe a music video? If only it were Best Song Ever Part 2) - In our main discussion we each share our top two favorite tweets from the boys. It’s definitely a bit of a nostalgic chat. - We have a mini discussion where we sort each of the boys into Hogwarts Houses. We know it’s a pretty controversial topic so we’d love to hear what houses they should each be in! - Lastly we discuss Harry’s mysterious thigh tattoo. WHAT IS IT? We have our theories but we want to hear yours, let’s compare notes. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - What do you want to see on the new album? Style? Writing? Collaborations? - What Harry Potter Houses should each of the boys be in? - What in God’s name is Harry’s thigh tattoo??? Please let us know!

Hello! We’re super excited to bring you the first episode of Talk Direction, a weekly One Direction podcast! We have big plans for this podcast, friends, BIG PLANS. But for now we’re starting with this episode, where we introduce ourselves, share our 1D origin stories, and discuss what we hope the boys will do in the future, unimaginable, post 1D-world (it’s more positive than it sounds, we promise). A big shout out to Adam over at taylortalk.org for helping us to begin to find our footing in this harsh world of podcasts. He’s a part of a great Taylor Swift podcast called Taylor Talk that you should definitely check out! In this episode: - We share how liking these boys blossomed from a secret shame into a love strong enough to inspire us to record a weekly hour-ish long conversation about them and share it with the internet! - One Direction release a fourth fragrance, ‘Between Us’ and an incredible accompanying commercial. - Zayn made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week! We talk about his outfits, his new hair, and his collaboration with Kanye (jokes… but we’re sure it’s happening somewhere in a better alternate universe) - Zayn’s getting the matching tattoo he has with Louis removed! …or not? - We discuss Harry wearing nail polish for a good cause. You can donate Safe Horizon – an organization that helps more than 250,000 children, adults, and families affected by domestic violence each year. - Our main discussion this week revolves around The Sun article that states the boys are to go on a break next year after promoting their fifth album. We talk about what we hope to see from each of the boys post-1D. - Direction Connection: we introduce a segment where we challenge each other to somehow make a connection from a random word to the band. Some of our connections are maybe a biiiiiit of a stretch but it’s harder than it sounds! QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - God forbid One Direction breaks up, what would you like to see the boys do in the future? - How do you feel about Zayn’s hair? What color would you like to see him try next? - How and when did you get into One Direction? Please let us know, we’d love to hear from you!
