The Light and Dark of Music, with Lily E. Hirsch
Strong Songs
The Reclaiming of the Word
There are a lot of really inspiring women and to see what they're doing. Like with Taylor Swift, you know, obviously she's doing amazing right now. But she has experienced way more than her fair share of criticism. And the way she has addressed that is fascinating and so clever. I loved seeing these women reclaim so many of these things in so many different ways.
Author and musicologist Lily E. Hirsch joins Kirk to talk about the many different aspects of music she's explored in her books.
