I know we say this every time, but Women & Songs 6 might be the biggest W&S yet! Join us as we re-re-revisit the year 2002 and reflect on some ~huge tracks~ like Soak Up The Sun, A Thousand Miles and Hands Clean (yes, we have more to say about Hands Clean). We're also finally getting a chance to dive into some CanCon cult classics like Melanie Doane's low-key banger Still Desire You, Sarah Slean's biggest hit Sweet Ones, and Martina Sorbara's pre-Dragonette masterpiece (yes I said masterpiece) Bonnie and Clyde II. Come for Sean's love of Michelle Branch, stay for Sean's disdain for Norah Jones!

She’s been called (by herself) the best damn thing, the mother f***in princess and a crazy b**ch but who is Avril Lavigne really?? Come take a deep dive into the enigmatic and ~complicated~ career of the woman who kicked down the Women & Songs doors for a new generation. We’re retracing her country/gospel routes and dissecting the making of her first seminal album Let Go. We’re also rehashing her musically beneficial but personally detrimental relationship with W&S mainstays Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida. Finally, we’re slogging through the latter three quarters of her career to find the diamonds in the rough and some overlooked pop bangers. Come with us and discover why Avril Lavigne is anything but ordinary (for better or worse)...

Liz Phair rose to indie-rock queen status in the early 90s with the seminal album Exile In Guyville. In the first of two Liz episodes, we're talking about how she got there and what came next. We are diving into the legendary Girly Sound tapes and the early evolution of Liz's songwriting. Then we take a little time to enjoy the masterpiece that is Exile In Guyville. We're highlighting the best and the best from that album before moving on to its rush-released follow-up, Whip-Smart. What makes Guyville so special and how can Liz top that album? How many off-the-wall samples can one artist jam into their songs? And why is there always a Liz stan next to me when I'm siting in seat 27C?? Listen now to find out!

Come on over and take a slight detour with us to explore the career of one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the 90's, Shania Twain! We're exploring her complicated origins, her country debut and her defiant crossover to the mainstream that changed the course of pop music. We're also diving into the three (!) versions of Up! so that you don't have to. We'll tell you just where Shania went in the 00's and we'll dish on her latest album, Now. We're determined to find the singer-songwriter gems hidden among all the signature cheese. Is Shania to blame for Taylor Swift? And could we see a Trump Twain ticket in 2020? Join us to find out!

We're taking a deep dive into the career of Lilith's bad, bad girl, Fiona Apple! We're exploring her origins, her sublime debut album Tidal, and rehashing some of her infamous moments.

We'll look back at the fan-led Free Fiona campaign that (sorta) got Extraordinary Machine off the shelf. Finally, we'll spend some time shamelessly gushing over The Idler Wheel... and pondering the next steps of adult contemporary's most puzzling enigma. What role did Fiona Apple's purse play in David Blaine's parlour tricks? And just who was Lenny Kravitz talking to on the phone? Grab your thesaurus as Fast As You Can and join us to find out!
