| 17 Sep 2020 | EP 08 | We Found the Women Headliners | 01:06:08 | |
In this week’s episode, we dismantle the idea that it’s “difficult for festival lineups to be diverse” by creating their very own festivals with ONLY non-males (or bands with non-males in them) on the lineup. We discuss our thoughts behind the lack of inclusion in certain festival lineups and explore how this can be improved for musicians and music fans in the future. Join us to see whether you would come to our festivals and have a think about who would be on your diverse lineup - enjoy!

| 24 Sep 2020 | EP 09 | Being an East Asian Rock/Metal Music Fan | 01:22:57 | |
We discuss what it’s like to be an east asian music fan. We talk about Natalie’s personal experiences of being a Chinese woman who is into metal and pop punk music, and share stories from other Asian music fans where they have been marginalised or othered because of how they look or where they are from. We dissect microaggressions that Asian music fans have been victims of and explore some theories of why certain people act in the way they do towards east asians. This is a very important episode and we hope you take away some lessons on how to be a better ally and support your asian friends. You’ll also find out who we think is KILLING it right now in Asian music.

| 18 Mar 2021 | EP 23 | Shag, Marry, Kill? But Make It Feminist | 00:39:12 | |
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.

| 04 Feb 2021 | EP 17 | Cultural Appropriation vs. Appreciation | 00:53:30 | |
We tackle the issue of cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation this week. We give our definitions of the differences and discuss when or if it’s ever okay to take elements from other people’s cultures. We’re not the authority on this.

| 12 Aug 2021 | EP 41 | Why Are Abusers Prevalent in the Alternative Music Scene? | 00:54:20 | |
For the past few years, it seems like allegations are coming out non-stop in the alternative music scene. In order to make it a safer place, we need to start from the very beginning and that's by theorising plausible reasons as to why we think the scene is in its current state. It's important to have this conversation, and we hope that you'll listen and help us on our journey to achieve this mission too. justagirlpod@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @justagirlpod https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3bJtJ97WSRgziFcdYDZGCC?si=FpjIRXgFQkaoi2lYqzAfQg | |||
| 01 Oct 2020 | EP 10 | Reasons Why We Hate Live Music | 00:55:17 | |
In this week’s episode, we discuss everything that annoys us about live music. Why are we doing this? Well the truth is, we REALLY miss going to gigs and festivals so we thought the best way to deal with this is to go into great detail about all the negative things about live music. We chat about all things menial from piss-throwing and bad sound technicians to downright sexual assault, so if this is triggering for you please listen with caution. We will always support the live music industry and give you some ways in which you can too - we just fancied a moan this week!

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!

| 05 Nov 2020 | EP 15 | Not All Men Are Trash | 01:03:31 | |
This is our last episode before lockdown 2.0 and it's time to focus on the men. While you might think this goes against the point of Just A Girl Podcast, an incredibly important part of intersectional feminism is equal opportunities for ALL. 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. We discuss why it might be more difficult for privileged people to connect with oppressed groups and see things from their perspective and what white men can do to support marginalised groups in a patriarchy and systematically racist society.
