  • Wendy Carlos
    Mar 27 2020

    Electronic music is a mainstay of modern nightclubs. The once experimental genre has broken through to the pop scene and thrived with festivals like Tomorrowland or the Electric Daisy Carnival. But much of the contemporary success of the form owes credit to decades of sonic tinkering, emerging technologies, and artists taking risks with an untested form. One such herald of electronica is Wendy Carlos.

  • Anne Gwynne
    Mar 26 2020

    The iconic trope of the scream queen has changed greatly over the past century of film, moving away from the token damsel-in-distress type to a more empowered figure who subverts the expectations of her audience. However, to truly understand the scream queen and what she represents, we must return to the beginning and to one of the women who helped to pioneer the concept. She may have been sadly forgotten by history, but horror owes so much to Anne Gwynne.

    June Tyson was the first female member of Sun Ra’s Arkestra, but there is precious little information available about her.

Her name was Lois Maxwell, and on today's episode of Forgotten Women of Genre, we're going to tell you all about the actress whose presence in the Bond movies wasn't just memorable, but downright iconic.

  • Jane Arden
    Mar 19 2020

    She was a cinematic innovator who pioneered feminist film and theater in Britain during the 1960s. Her radical approach to storytelling helped to pave the way for generations of female directors and writers. She made waves on television, forced audiences to confront the reality of mental illness, and became one of the first women to direct a science-fiction film. Sadly, you've probably never heard of her until today. This is the story of Jane Arden.
