  • Episode 64: Christine Jorgensen
    Welcome to PRIDE MONTH 2024. We're starting this month's celebration by talking about Christine Jorgensen, definitely NOT the first trans woman in the United States, but the first to be exposed in the New York Daily News. Instead of living a quiet life as her authentic self, Christine decided to use the platform that she gained to advocate for acceptance and understanding for the Trans Community.

  • Episode 60: Hannah Hoch

    Hannah Hoch was an artist who just wanted to create pieces that meant something to her. And so she did. Join me to explore the world of Dada Art and hear about this amazing woman who was called a "good girl" by her male peers during her life... and a complex, funny critic of mainstream and art-world misogyny now.

  • Episode 59: Edmonia “Wildfire” Lewis
    We’re highlighting women artists this month and we’re starting strong with the first African and Indigenous American artist (of any gender) to become an internationally celebrated sculptor. Her legacy was lost for almost a century…. But we are lucky enough that she has been rediscovered and serves as an inspiring example of overcoming obstacles and pushing towards a goal at any cost.

  • Episode 58: Poly Styrene

    We're getting "PUNK"-y this week and talking about the front woman of the punk band X-ray Spex. She didn't fit in anywhere, and had thoughts, feelings, and ideas to share with the world... so she grabbed a microphone and sang about them.

    Her life was short, and her career shorter, but the influence that she had on a genre and on girls everywhere lives on today.

  • Episode 57: Janis Joplin

    This week is a special tribute to one of my favorite singers… the woman who teenaged me was sure was the ONLY SOUL ever to exist that knew my pain. Janis Joplin threw herself into every syllable she sang and

    exploded with passion from the very core of her being. Her world-wise ways and flamboyant fashion shattered the traditional stereotypes that female artists faced.

  • Episode 56: Miriam Makeba

    Today's woman was known by many names: Mama Africa, the Empress of African Song, and Zenzi (her African name that was a gift from her mother). The world would come to know her as Miriam Makeba... and they would LOVE her talent and positive spirit. At least, until, she started using her voice to directly criticize the apartheid government of her home. Miriam was loud and proud and when people rejected her, she picked herself up and started again somewhere else.
