The Riot Grrrl movement didn't ask for a seat at the table. It built its own and that's the point.

This episode we digging into feminist punk, its origins, and what it actually tells us about how change gets made, both in a scene and in a life. Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Amyl and the Sniffers, Cheap Perfume. These aren't just bands. They're case studies in what happens when we use our voices to create the change we seek in the world.

We get into the politics of reclaiming your own sexuality, the male gaze in music, and why "whore and housewife" as a framing isn't an insult, it's a mirror held up to everyone who put it there.

The bigger question underneath all of it: what does it take to build something new from the inside out, and why does that process require the pain of the old thing first?
