Writer, producer, comedian, and self-proclaimed "disaster feminist," Abby Holland went on a feminist cruise full of musicians and was inspired to share their stories. She talks to creative, fascinating and talented people while unpacking feminism imperfectly.
I got to chat with the amazingly talented Naomi Grossman (Pepper in American Horror Story!) who headlined at The Denver Fringe Festival and will be performing her show, American Whore Story, at The Edinburgh Fringe Fest 2024 for the whole month of August! If you're in Scotland, you should check it out at The Gilded Balloon Patter House. (https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/naomi-grossman-american-whore-story)

Lowen
It's Pride Month! There's also a lot going on right now with BLM and racism in America and I wanted to comment just a little bit on my journey toward activism. Feminism was my gateway drug to more activism.
I then got to sit down with the singer/songwriter, Lowen on The Melissa Etheridge Cruise! She has a very unique and amazing voice and I loved what she had to say about activism.

Lucy Spraggan & The X-Factor
Have you watched Mrs. America yet during the pandemic? Why am I struggling to press 'play?' Does clapping at 7pm bring you cheer too? #DisasterFeminist #Pandemic #MrsAmerica
As we swayed back and forth on The Melissa Etheridge Cruise in a little room looking out at the Caribbean somewhere between Belize and The Cayman Islands, I got to talk to the wonderful musician, Lucy Spraggan. Her X-Factor audition in 2012 (when she sung her own song, "Last Night" ) shot her to fame and she's been touring ever since! Follow her @Lspraggan

Dar Williams & Finding Your Voice
On the top, back deck of the Melissa Etheridge Cruise while cruisers brunched their hearts out, I sat down with Dar Williams to talk about her beginning days in Northampton, MA; feminism, capitalism ("The Nose"), and how the music industry has changed since the 1990s.

Paula Cole & Being a Starving Artist
The Melissa Etheridge Cruise was my first cruise ever; and since Coronavirus hit, I"m never going on one again. On this episode, we meet my first CRUISE FRIENDS Maureen and Leanne and to top it off; I interview PAULA COLE! You know her famous songs, "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait," but did you know she self-produced that entire album and won Best New Artist in 1998? Also, I grew my armpit hair out just for her.

You may know her song, "I Kissed A Girl," or "Supermodel" from the Clueless Soundtrack. We talk Fabio, getting a record deal, her new album, "Nostalgia Kills," and how maybe I'm too drunk to do the interview. Enjoy!
