What is it like to be a woman shaping the conversation in the jam band scene? This episode, we sit down with Megan Glionna, host of HFPod, Library Card, and A Moment with Meg to talk about her journey from jam fan to podcasting powerhouse.

We also get into the realities of being the only woman in the room, navigating networking when the rules aren’t the same for men and women, and the weirdness of parasocial relationships when you’ve spent hours talking on a mic. Plus, we manifest Megan’s dream interview with Waxahatchee and chat about the importance of joy on stage, in the crowd, and in life.

| Episode 11: The Flock Talks Cacao with Hannah and Kait | 10 Mar 2025 | 00:46:02 | |
What if your pre-show ritual could help you feel more grounded, open-hearted, and connected?
