This episode features special guest Shawna Potter, the frontwomen of the feminist hardcore punk band War On Women, activist, and author (among many other things). We discuss using your platform to speak up, playing at venues where your presence isn’t wanted, and the makings of a new War On Women album. We also discuss her activism and her book Making Spaces Safer: A Guide to Giving Harassment the Boot Wherever You Work, Play, and Gather.
This episode opens with a snippet of “Pro-Life?” off War Of Women’s 2015 self-titled debut album. The album closes with “Anarcha” off their 2018 album Capture The Flag (which was one of the best protest albums of the 2010s).
