I was feeling really empowered when I picked out the tracks for this week’s podcast and decided to showcase a huge range of talented, obscure females musicians. Possibly the prettiest, most romantic radio show I’ve done thanks to the freak-folkiness of Cocorosie, the soft piano line in Martha Wainwright’s Edith Piaf cover, and the quietly crumbling intellectual musings of Angel Olsen.
