GRRL010: sexual assault & feminist organization Af3irm featuring Miah Spring

Author: June Owatari February 1, 2016 Duration: 0:00
The first time I met Miah Spring, she came up to me after a show and asked me to be on my podcast. Ah-wahh? Usually finding interviewees is like herding cats! But this is one cat that fell right into my lap purring. Okay, enough cat analogies. In this episode, you'll get to hear two songs performed by Miah live at a recent Flim Flam Revue show in San Diego in addition to a song she did in collaboration with Irate Productions. The song, "Sandy Still Speaks," is about Sandra Bland, who was arrested in 2015 and died a few years later in jail. We'll also talk about a feminist organization called Af3irm that Miah is involved in, creating music with and without friends, and supporting others when it comes to talking about sexual assault and rape. I will be issuing a content warning midway through the interview for sexual assault. Please, please, PLEASE feel free to skip past that portion if you need to.

Hosted by June Owatari, Grrl on Grrl sits at the vibrant crossroads of music, identity, and community. This isn't just another interview format; it's a space built on intersectional and trans-inclusive feminist principles, where the conversation flows as freely as the songs. Each episode features a musician from any genre you can imagine, turning the spotlight not only on their art but on the unique experiences that shape it. You'll hear about the songwriting process, the realities of the industry, and the personal stories that rarely make it into a standard press bio. The heart of the podcast, though, might be in the curated playlists. Every guest brings their own soundtrack, sharing the tunes that move them, which means every episode is packed with both profound insight and a fantastic, personally-selected soundtrack. It’s about pulling back the curtain on creativity while celebrating the diverse voices within music communities. Tune in for genuine dialogue, a deeper understanding of the artists behind the work, and a consistently refreshing mix of tracks you might not have found on your own.
