Remember when celebrated the launch of our pod, and a man decided to weigh in with his many opinion? Well we’ve decided the appropriate thing to do with comments like this is to stick them on merch.

So, it turns out when two very busy people attempt to make a podcast things sometimes get a little bit delayed. Fear not though, as it turns out that no matter the time gap, the conversations we have about folk music and feminism (sadly) remain relevant.

Recorded at Shrewsbury Folk Festival - which you should absolutely grab a ticket to (it starts today but you can get there in a heartbeat) or watch live on their website we chatted with the brilliant Della Mae

You can find it on:

and all good streaming platforms!

Stay Fierce!

We’re back with a new series tomorrow!

Our first guests will be the amazing 💕

We had a great time catching up with them at 2022 and would love for you to listen in to the insightful full conversation we shared.

The Unthanks exist to explore ideas, journey through music, share stories, to connect and participate, as well as to perform. Music is viewed as adventure, stories as learning, audience as friends and equals. Self managed since they started in 2004, The Unthanks have journeyed though an extraordinarily range of musical forms, and lead the way in finding new ways to engage with audiences.

Listen in tomorrow!
