Coming up on Odd Girl Out 49

This week I am joined in the studio by the one-woman multimedia juggernaut that is She Makes War, about to take her bellicose melancholia on the road for a UK tour. She is bringing her ukulele and will be performing a couple of songs acoustically. Don't miss! Plus, an archive interview with everybody's favourite Jewish lesbian folksinger, Phranc.

Odd Girl Out: show 48


What was I saying about technical problems? This week the show was only viewable and audible on the webcam, and even then, the right channel was cranky. We hope to sort this out ASAP. But, I did my best to be visually interesting by offering some 1980s interpretative dance and a flexi disk show-and-tell. Do you get that on the Beeb? I think not.

Live tonight only on webcam!

Hi,
There is a problem with the station's server, and so the show is only able to be heard via the webcam: http://www.opticalradio.net/webcam.php.

Sunday's repeat should be OK.

Odd Girl Out: show 47

A few technical problems meant the first 12 minutes were not broadcast and the last 20 minutes didn't record, making this an elusive show for the listener. Nevertheless, it featured interviews with UnderWire film festival organiser Gabriella Apicella and La Moustache organiser Dana.

Odd Girl Out: show 46



I'm currently wrapped up with Ladyfest Ten, but will post the playlist ASAP.

The show was devoted to Ladyfest, and every artist on it has played at least one Ladyfest. The interview segment was actually a specially convened roundtable that took place in NYC in 1993, bringing together the assembled knowledge of Riot Grrrl and lesbian feminism via Alix Dobkin, Kathleen Hanna, Jill Reiter and Selena Wahng.

Here it is:

Thoroughly herstorical.

Our first week back on GMT. Despite the strangely ominous presence of the flickering yellow lights in the police station corridor, I kept my composure. S-p-o-o-k-y.
