    A SHERO's Journey: Jensen McRae
    Jun 27 2025
    Los Angeles singer-songwriter Jensen McRae is an artist whose star is rising fast. At 27 she has already been releasing music for a decade, and the last two years saw her tour with MUNA, and Noah Kahan. Her impeccably crafted second album I Don't Know How But They Found Me! is her first for indie stalwart label Dead Oceans, and she joins Carmel Holt to talk about her nearly lifelong sense of self-confidence despite feeling the outsider in school, her love of working with - and listening to - other women songwriters, and learning to live in our appearance-obsessed culture.

    A SHERO's Journey: jasmine.4.t (encore episode)
    Jun 6 2025
    This year during Pride month, trans rights are especially top of mind, as trans-phobia, discrimination, and anti-trans violence is at an all time high, as well as a growing wave of anti-transgender legislation. So we wanted to kick off our celebration of Pride with an encore presentation of our recent conversation with UK trans-femme artist jasmine.4.t, who put out one of our very favorite albums of the year thus far, called You Are the Morning. The album was produced by all three members of boygenius - Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker, and released on Phoebe Bridgers’ label Saddest Factory Records. Carmel Holt sat down with Jasmine before she opened for Lucy Dacus at Radio City Music Hall back in April for a super moving and inspiring conversation, which, like her album, has also become one of our favorites of the year. Jasmine's story of trauma, bravery, and transformation thankfully, has an uplifting and heartwarming new chapter, brought about through support from community, PTSD therapy, and music. PLEASE NOTE: if topics of suicide and gender-based violence are triggering for you, please listen with care.
