Episode Description

Finally, we are back with the first episode of the new season. This episode is a deep dive into the genre of Metal and it's sub-genres.

Anna S. Rogers, a lecturer at the University of Georgia in the Sociology department and co-author of "Doing Gender in Heavy Metal: Perceptions on Women in a Hypermasculine Subculture, is the guest. Anna talks about how discovering her favorite band, Korn, was thought to be a sexist and problematic band lead her to begin researching music and gender dynamics.

We also discuss how she got into metal, hypermasculinity in the genre, mosh pits, feminism and doing gender. Plus we get into what metal culture looks like in the American South and how gender norms of the region have influenced it.

The Things thatPissed Us Off are Revolver magazine only featuring women in metal when it's related to their looks and getting ourselves worked up over nothing.

The Who's that Lady (from History)? is Maria Brink, lead singer of In This Moment.

Not Your Cup of Tea Kelsie West I've never been one to fit into a one-size fits all mold-- for anything. Sometimes that's led me to the conclusion that I'm just not everyone's cup of tea. I think it can be easy to feel like you don't fit in, or aren't "doing it right" somehow. I decided to embrace that with this podcast! It's a little all over the place (kind of like me), but we'll find our way. There's beauty to be found in stumbling across another person in this world who matches your energy, so maybe we can create something beautiful together... I have a good feeling about this. I think YOU may just be MY cup of tea ;) Explicit The Wait A Minute Show The Wait A Minute Show Not your normal sports podcast, The Wait A Minute Show is the peoples show covering the main sport topics but also not scared to go off script and have a little comedic fun.
