GRRL Interlude 001: feminist and music news featuring songs from Polish and Crooked

I’m trying something new this week, inspired by the fact that uh, episode 20 is delayed. So here’s the very first Grrl on Grrl Interlude episode! In this short episode, I cover Grrl on Grrl news, upcoming album releases in October, and quotes from articles regarding the recent arrest of the Backpage CEO. Listen below, and don’t forget to check out the links to bands and articles mentioned as well.

And to all my listeners, please let me know how I can make this podcast more inclusive for you and for potential guests. Shoot me an email please at grrlongrrlpodcast@gmail.com!
