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.
Bridget Kearney returns to SHEROES to celebrate the release of her new solo album Comeback Kid. Best known as a founding member of Lake Street Dive, the bassist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist and host Carmel Holt discuss Bridget’s multi-faceted journey thus far – from discovering her love of songwriting and the bass as a child in her native Iowa City, to her pursuit of jazz at New England Conservatory where Lake Street Dive was formed, to her travels and recordings in Ghana with one of her many side projects, to teaching a course in songwriting at Princeton University and the magic of sharing her love of music with others.
