2021/06/10

We weren’t lying when we said it’s not a phase, mom. Emo and pop punk is well and truly alive, with a new era of artists owning the genre and pushing it into the mainstream. But why is this happening? Why did pop punk die in the first place? And who is pioneering this renaissance? Check out our discussion and much more in episode 32 now!

Just A Girl Podcast ·

2021/04/08

Just A Girl Podcast ·

2021/03/18

In this week’s episode we’re lightening the mood a little with a feminist version of the ever-popular “shag, marry, kill?” We have no intention to objectify people, so instead we ask each other out of the 3 options provided who we would trust to hold our drink, whose shoulders we would sit on and who we would avoid at a gig.

EP 15 | Not All Men Are Trash

Just A Girl Podcast ·

2020/11/05

This is our last episode before lockdown 2.0 and it's time to focus on the men.

So, we’re using this episode to shout out some men we’re aware of who are doing great things for inclusivity in the scene.

Just A Girl Podcast ·

2020/10/22

This week, we discuss our thoughts on our friend Jack Bottomley’s question: How influential do you think misogynistically inclined lyrics of pop punk bands from the early 00/10s were in shaping the scene to what it is today?
