Inspired by creator and host Carmel Holt’s own 25 year career in radio, and lifetime devoted to music, SHEROES is a podcast that amplifies womxn’s voices in song and conversation. As the third production under the SHEROES name, following her syndicated public radio show SHEROES Radio, and SHEROES: Mixtape Memoir (Sonos Radio), the SHEROES podcast on Talkhouse acts as kind of creative lab, expanding to include mini-episodes that highlight the intersectional feminist heart of SHERO interviews, live tapings, roundtables and more. Carmel’s approach continues to be guided by a fierce commitment to diversity and inclusivity, showcasing a wide range of guests sharing their experiences spanning genres and generations, with a passion for amplifying new voices while recognizing and celebrating the womxn who paved the way.
Chicago musician Lili Trifilio started Beach Bunny as a solo project a decade ago, expanded to a four-piece in 2017 while she was in college, and has been steadily releasing EP’s and albums annually from 2015 until 2022. During those seven prolific years, there were two songs that went viral on TikTok resulting in external and internal pressure to keep pace with their success, even when the world had slowed down to a halt during the pandemic. Lili sits down with Carmel Holt to share how the three years following their last album found the band adjusting to new norms, and a rapidly changing world. After making some much needed changes, Lili found her creative stride once again, and Beach Bunny has recently released their fantastic third full length album, Tunnel Vision.
