| Why Are Abusers Prevalent in the Alternative Music Scene? | 12 Aug 2021 | 00:54:20 | |
For the past few years, it seems like allegations are coming out non-stop in the alternative music scene.

| Not All Men Are Trash | 05 Nov 2020 | 01:03:31 | |
This is our last episode before lockdown 2.0 and it's time to focus on the men. While you might think this goes against the point of Just A Girl Podcast, an incredibly important part of intersectional feminism is equal opportunities for ALL. So, we’re using this episode to shout out some men we’re aware of who are doing great things for inclusivity in the scene. We discuss why it might be more difficult for privileged people to connect with oppressed groups and see things from their perspective and what white men can do to support marginalised groups in a patriarchy and systematically racist society.

| Did the Early Thematics of Pop Punk Foreshadow the Problematic Issues in the Scene Today? | 22 Oct 2020 | 01:04:18 | |
This week, we discuss our thoughts on our friend Jack Bottomley’s question: How influential do you think misogynistically inclined lyrics of pop punk bands from the early 00/10s were in shaping the scene to what it is today?

| Reasons Why We Hate Live Music | 01 Oct 2020 | 00:55:17 | |
In this week’s episode, we discuss everything that annoys us about live music. Why are we doing this? Well the truth is, we REALLY miss going to gigs and festivals so we thought the best way to deal with this is to go into great detail about all the negative things about live music. We chat about all things menial from piss-throwing and bad sound technicians to downright sexual assault, so if this is triggering for you please listen with caution. We will always support the live music industry and give you some ways in which you can too - we just fancied a moan this week!

| Being an East Asian Rock/Metal Music Fan | 24 Sep 2020 | 01:22:57 | |
We discuss what it’s like to be an east asian music fan. We talk about Natalie’s personal experiences of being a Chinese woman who is into metal and pop punk music, and share stories from other Asian music fans where they have been marginalised or othered because of how they look or where they are from. We dissect microaggressions that Asian music fans have been victims of and explore some theories of why certain people act in the way they do towards east asians. This is a very important episode and we hope you take away some lessons on how to be a better ally and support your asian friends. You’ll also find out who we think is KILLING it right now in Asian music.

| We Found the Women Headliners | 17 Sep 2020 | 01:06:08 | |
In this week’s episode, we dismantle the idea that it’s “difficult for festival lineups to be diverse” by creating their very own festivals with ONLY non-males (or bands with non-males in them) on the lineup. We discuss our thoughts behind the lack of inclusion in certain festival lineups and explore how this can be improved for musicians and music fans in the future. Join us to see whether you would come to our festivals and have a think about who would be on your diverse lineup - enjoy!

| Is It Internalised Misogyny or Valid Hate? | 22 Jan 2023 | 00:43:56 | |
In this episode, we discuss women in music that we don't seem to gel with and explore whether our disdain is a result of internalised misogyny or if we think it's fair to actively dislike them.

| Guilty Pleasures | 03 Sep 2020 | 00:56:45 | |
In this episode, we discuss all things “guilty pleasures.” What does the term “guilty pleasure” mean to us, do we believe we have them and if so, what are they? We chat about the different nuances of guilty pleasures and why we find there is sometimes a certain amount of shame attached to music we listen to. Don’t worry - you’ll find out what we consider our “guilty pleasures” to be - and of course, there is a game.

| Association | 27 Aug 2020 | 00:53:26 | |
We chat about associating people, memories, anything you can think of, with music. We discuss what music reminds us of our family and friends - and why going to gigs with your partner isn’t always the best idea. You'll also get a sneak peak into the more mundane side of our lives, and discover what music we listen to when we cook, clean… and bathe.

| Music & Tattoos | 13 Aug 2020 | 01:01:52 | |
We chat about music related tattoos and the complexities surrounding certain tattoos; connotations, significance or just… bad people. You’ll find out what we think about music related tattoos, whether we would get them and why. Also, in a very Natalie and Katie fashion, there is a mini game because it wouldn’t be Just A Girl without one.You can email us at justagirlpod@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter & Instagram @justagirlpodhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/3bJtJ97WSRgziFcdYDZGCC?si=FpjIRXgFQkaoi2lYqzAfQg
