654: Pop Culture Taxes

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of Knox’s core philosophies: there’s always a tax to pay. From loving Rachel McAdams but enduring some questionable movie choices to working in Christian publishing and strategically downplaying the actual books you’re reading, we’re breaking down the costs of our pop culture loyalties.
