Inspired by creator and host Carmel Holt’s own 25 year career in radio, and lifetime devoted to music, SHEROES is a podcast that amplifies womxn’s voices in song and conversation. As the third production under the SHEROES name, following her syndicated public radio show SHEROES Radio, and SHEROES: Mixtape Memoir (Sonos Radio), the SHEROES podcast on Talkhouse acts as kind of creative lab, expanding to include mini-episodes that highlight the intersectional feminist heart of SHERO interviews, live tapings, roundtables and more. Carmel’s approach continues to be guided by a fierce commitment to diversity and inclusivity, showcasing a wide range of guests sharing their experiences spanning genres and generations, with a passion for amplifying new voices while recognizing and celebrating the womxn who paved the way.
Singer, songwriter, playwright and author Anaïs Mitchell returns to SHEROES to discuss her newest album with Bonny Light Horseman Keep Me On Your Mind / See You Free, the threads that runs between her solo work, her Tony-award winning Broadway musical Hadestown, and writing with Eric D. Johnson and Josh Kaufman in Bonny Light Horseman, and the importance of passing the flame from one generation to the next – and back again.
