The chart-topping podcast Decoding Taylor Swift has joined the Realm Network, the podcast-first digital media platform, for distribution and multi-channel monetisation.
Since its launch in July, the show has remained in the Apple Podcasts Top 200, spending time at number one on Apple Podcasts’ Music chart.
Hosted by storytelling expert and physicist Joe Romm alongside his daughter Antonia Romm, a freshman at the University of Chicago and self-proclaimed Swiftie, the podcast explores Taylor Swift’s work in depth.
Both Joe Romm and Taylor Swift were named by Rolling Stone as two of “100 People Who Are Changing America.”
The new season of Decoding Taylor Swift will examine Taylor’s latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, track by track.
“Taylor boldly promised on Travis Kelce’s podcast that these 12 songs would be ‘fitting together like a perfect puzzle,’” said Dr Romm. “Antonia and I have already figured out the puzzle. We promise to decode the entire album this season, ending with an epic reveal in the final episode on song 12, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’”
The podcast is produced and managed by Big IP Talent’s Scott Porch as part of Realm’s Big IP content vertical, which launched in August 2025.
“Realm is finding voices in pop culture that have something unique and something valuable to add to the conversation,” said Mary Assadullahi, Vice President of Realm. “Decoding Taylor Swift takes a subject you think you already know and blows your mind by digging into these iconic songs.”
Season two of Decoding Taylor Swift has launched and is available wherever you get your podcasts.
