Sound Opinions Interviews Boygenius

We’re guessing that “Starting a Riot” fans love music. So we wanted to share an episode of one of our favorite music podcasts with you. It’s called “Sound Opinions.” In this episode, host Jim DeRogatis and producer Alex Claiborne have a casual conversation with the three friends behind Boygenius: Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. The conversation focuses on the deep friendship that inspires the group’s songwriting, their new album and the meaning behind their recent Rolling Stone cover photo that referenced Nirvana.

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. Starting a Riot tells the history of riot grrrl: why it started in the Pacific Northwest, and what its lasting impact has been. And we focus on the stories that haven’t often 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.
