Steel City Sue | Emmy Ryan | Protest songs – Show #400 (part 2), 19 July 2026

Katie celebrates the 400th episode of Miss Chatelaine by revisiting the theme of her very first show in 2017: protest songs. Singer-songwriter, fiddler and activist Steel City Sue (Su Morley) joins Emmy Ryan and Katie to the studio to talk about the new Australian group Folk the System and her work with Rising Tide, and the important meaning behind the title of her new album, The Red Zone. There are more lovely congratulatory messages – including audio messages from Miss Chat favourites Michael Waugh, Great Aunt, Tuck Shop Ladies and Stuart Coupe – and more fabulous protest songs. Here is the playlist: The Fall of America (Acoustic) – Ben Lee Native Tongue – Mo’Ju The Red Zone – Steel City Sue Streets of Minneapolis – Bruce Springsteen The Little Flame – Carsie Blanton Don’t Call Me Names – Rhiannon Giddens Follow Emmy Ryan on Facebook and Instagram and find her music and merch on Bandcamp.
