This episode takes a detour from the usual SHEROES artist interview to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the O.G. feminist lifestyle and culture publication, BUST Magazine. Founded in 1993 by three women in New York City, BUST started as a ‘zine, made of stapled pages and a passion for their cause: to make feminism cool again. Now a quarterly magazine, BUST has kept going despite financial challenges along the way – and a world which still favors hyper-sexualized images of women on magazine covers and advertisers that sell unattainable standards of youth and beauty. BUST proudly continues to feature news, entertainment, music, lifestyle, and fashion from a feminist perspective, and 30 years on, we need it more than ever. Listen in as SHEROES host Carmel Holt sits down with BUST’s co-founder and creative director, Laurie Henzel to talk about BUST through their three decades, and the ever evolving world of feminism.
