Cheech Marin: stoner comedian, music journalist, and Karen Dalton's former roommate. For more, listen to our new episode, "Do It Or Die!" On Karen Dalton" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... 📹: via Amoeba Records’ What's In My Bag (thanks to Jake Fussell for hipping us to this!)

We also learned that she was a renowned cooker of beans, apparent Michael Hurley adapter, and early feminist who liked hangin out with weird people (Cheech Marin among them)! Listen, rate, review, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

We kick off Season 2 w/ the late great Karen Dalton! We chat about who and how she was “in her own time”: a sublime, confident folk musician & interpreter who made everything she played sound like a Karen Dalton song. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

A huge highlight of a busy months! I love the work these women are doing and now I also know they are hilarious

We had a great time talking with the wonderful @annkpowers.bsky.social about the podcast and feminist perspectives on folk music history at @folk-alliance.bsky.social in snowy Montreal a couple weeks ago! Thanks so much to everyone who attended and asked such thoughtful questions.

Happy 80th birthday to the wondrous Vashti Bunyan! In this clip from the 1970 BBC One documentary, “Everyman,” Vashti discusses her 1968 journey by horse-drawn caravan from London to the Outer Hebrides. youtu.be/IoCe69tJ7TY?...

Somebody’s been listening to the pod 😂

Interesting development lmao 🤔 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/04/m...

Excited to be heading to school aka @folk-alliance.bsky.social Montreal this week for a conversation with the inimitable @annkpowers.bsky.social on folk music podcasting and feminist storytelling! Our panel is Friday from 11:30-12:30--please come say hi if you'll be there!

Not familiar with the artist, but she just got “female Bob Dylan-ed” www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/local-events/

Though there’s no byline (following the conventions of the magazine at the time) this TIME cover story about Joan was written by the one and only John McPhee

RIP Garth Hudson 😢 Gone to that great mulch factory in the sky 💙

MOVEMENT BUILDING is on our minds this MLK Day. Some images to inspire: 1&2: Odetta and Bruce Langhorne perform at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, August 28, 1963. Photo 1 by Rowland Sherman via the National Archives

Catching up with @thefemalebobdylan.bsky.social. It’s a great podcast about female-identified singer-songwriters and the myth of male genius. Check it out! 🎧

Re-upping our Joan ep on her birthday! 👣👣👣 We follow Joan Baez’s life through her meteoric rise when folk music was the thing and discuss what exactly that thing was: as in, we talk revival & invention, tradition & interpretation, authenticity, corniness & theft podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

*New* Our take on the new Dylan biopic! We discuss the Hollywoodifying of the cultural & political tensions of Dylan going electric, who's represented, misrepresented & left out entirely, Chalamet's press tour, and our yearning for the Nosferatu of the folk revival podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Everyone listen to the Female Bob Dylan podcast PLEASE

SFJ’s collective year-end reflection is a beautiful thing. Honored to contribue to it alongside my @thefemalebobdylan.bsky.social sisters. I wrote about the daily rituals I had some semblance of control over, and the daily realities I didn’t.

Hey hey Woody Guthrie I made you this meme

In our latest episode of @thefemalebobdylan.bsky.social we discuss Odetta, Vera Hall & how Alan Lomax defined folk music as the expression of working class cultural communities embedded in a particular place. This is why he didn’t think Dylan had a place at Newport, not bc he played rock n roll

In our last official episode of the season, we celebrate the brilliant, iconoclastic life of singer, guitarist & activist Odetta. We talk interpreters & inheritors, Black music & Black history & Odetta as a connector between the folk revival & civil rights movement podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

✨Episode 7 drops tomorrow✨
