133. Indigo Girls: Sexuality, Sobriety, ...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

1. Why Emily couldn’t stop crying (and it wasn’t because she was emotional).

2. The intervention that got Emily sober – and why Amy wasn’t there.

3. Glennon admits something that she’s never told anyone before.

4. Amy and Abby agree on the shared cost of internalized homophobia and misogyny.


About Indigo Girls:

One of the most successful folk duos in history – Amy Ray and Emily Sailers aka THE INDIGO GIRLS – has recorded 16 albums and sold over 15 million records.

Committed and uncompromising activists, they work on issues like immigration reform, LGBTQ advocacy, education, and death penalty reform. They are co-founders of Honor the Earth, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities, Indigenous environmental justice, and green energy solutions.

Their latest record, Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds Indigo Girls reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date.
