Welcome to “The Stakes.” We’ve got a protest-filled show for you today, plus some voices you haven’t heard on our li’l podcast before. Coming up:

- SlutTalk founder Alicia Swiz sits down with producer James T. Green to discuss the feminist protests outside Chicago’s Trump Tower.

- Our editorial director of music, Jessica Hopper, speaks to writer Sasha Geffen about how a rape allegation against Swans frontman Michael Gira has reverberated within the close confines of the underground music community.

- The Blow’s Khaela Maricich and Melissa Dyne tell writer Hazel Cills about their Womanproducer project, and the power of women in music and the arts.

- Producer Mukta Mohan joins protestors in Las Vegas who built a wall of their own in front of a Trump hotel — a wall of taco trucks.
