Confessions of a Fangirl: Tales from Han...

W!ZARD STUDIOS
About this episode

This week we dive back into the world of Fangirldom by discussing topics from Hannah Ewens' incredible book Fangirls: Scenes From Modern Music Culture. Join Sara Feigin and Jenna Million as they go deeper into the world of fangirls and discuss all things from why we're made to feel guilty about crushing on band members, to what it's like fangirling over an artist the world doesn't see as fangirl friendly. Were boybands created to make girls feel the need to cater to men? Is fangirling as an adult something to be ashamed of? We answer these questions and so many more in this week's episode in hopes of validating our listeners and their unabashed love of music.

This is a music commentary podcast based on pre-existing knowledge and sources listed at Name3Songs.com
