With the Band

Julia Hava & Eliza McLamb
About this episode

In the second part of their rockstar saga, the girlies discuss the unsung heroes of rock's orbit — the Black musicians of Soul, the groupies who surrounded the stars, and the grrrls who refused to stand for the bullshit. Digressions include the funeral of unenthusiastic Binchtopia ad reads, not falling for the misogynistic hate campaign against Sophie Turner, and some mailbox moments that seem to be straight out of r/ambien.
