THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

Thirty years ago, a movement called riot grrrl started in the Pacific Northwest. It wasn’t just music – it was politics, feminism, culture and zines. And we’re still feeling its effects today. This podcast tells the history of riot grrrl: why it started here in the Pacific Northwest, and what its lasting impact has been. And it focuses on the stories that haven’t really been told as part of the history of the movement. We’ll hear from people on the margins, people who felt left out, and the people who insisted on being part of the conversation anyway.
