Rhinestone Cowboy

Great interview!! We got to talk with Carmela, a female-fronted grunge/punk/overall-cool-sounding band from Regina. We also got to meet their new member, and you’ll get to too if you listen! ;) Thanks again to the band for being so great, you can check out their stuff on all streaming platforms, or in person if you’re from Saskatchewan and manage to catch one of their sets! Below you’ll find their...

Where are the intimacy coordinators when you need them?! Also, what is up with dudes lying about being feminists to gain validation from women/attention? Wouldn't it make more sense to actually be nice and respectful towards women if you want that? Lots of questions, as we're sure you all have too. We provide some updates to the legal case and the alleged muti-billion dollar SLANDER plot conspired...

Okay but actually??? Does anybody know??? In this episode we talk about the New Jersey drone sightings that have been happening since early December, and the plasma balls that have begun to appear with them (that have been seen DEACTIVATING the drones when they fly close to them). What is going on. Would you meet an alien? We would?? Maybe?? Apparently they’re coming out of the ocean?

If you haven’t heard of Luigi Mangione…where have you been? The anti-hero of America’s social media accounts, including his Spotify, offer an interesting view into his mindset prior to the shooting. Whether you agree with his vigilante Justice or not, we can all agree that healthcare in the US needs a rehaul. And that Luigi’s got great music taste. (For legal purposes everything said in this is a...

SPOILERSSSSSSS we talk about nearly all of Wicked in this episode- please go watch it if you haven’t yet before you listen to this! We interviewed Zochi as well and that is also uploaded, so be sure to check that out. Zochi goes more into her art/music in this, as well as talking about a few videos coming up that Zochi and Ari will be filming together once it’s all finalized. Zochi’s Instagram: @o...

On Monday we had Zochi in the studio to talk about her new EP, “Afrikkanman Fairytale” and her journey as an artist. Having immigrated from Nigeria, Zochi talks about how her immigrating prompted her to re-find her identity as a queer woman outside of the restrictive anti-LGBTQ laws in her home country. Zochi has been featured in many articles, played on international radio stations, and during al...

Anti-Intellectualism actually isn’t as ground-breaking as you think it is- in fact, it kind of just makes you easier to manipulate BY establishment you think you’re protesting. In this episode we ever a bit from pop culture and discuss the movement of anti-intellectualism, which is the movement away from education. Us, as students, don’t believe education should be pushed as hard as it is for some...

We hung out for a bit after the interview with Marz and talked about a new sub-genre of horror that’s begun to come out within the past few years, which is feminist horror movies. Marz explains why she believes women are innately capable of making good horror films, we talk about other personal favourites (like “The Ritual”), and Marz expands on some of her answers in the interview

We interviewed Marz Gebhart at the end of last month, a local screenwriter and director :) she’s most known for her work with Amy Swallow on her music videos (“Heroin(e) Hypocrite”, most notably). She is also a local screenwriter and is currently studying through the Toronto Film School after completing her Bachelor’s Degree in English (Honours) at the University of Regina in 2022. She is also kno...

Huuuugeeeee spoiler alert with this one- honestly, unless we say otherwise, just assume that if we’re talking about a movie there will be some. “The Substance” is another feminist horror movie we got to see recently. It has a lot of themes surrounding the psychological effects of the beauty industry and the idolization of youth, and that’s about all we can say in the description without giving the...

*Spoiler Warning* This trend of feminist horror movies is something we’re living for, honestly. Recently we went to go see Anna Kendrick’s “Woman of the Hour”, the first movie she’s ever directed! She also plays Cheryl in it, the bachelorette on “The Dating Show”- a game show from the 60’s that once hosted Rodney Alcala, a notorious American serial killer who would pose as a photographer to unsusp...

At the end of the month last month, we had the opportunity to interview Annaxis while she stopped in Regina to perform! We can’t get over how driven, cool, and educated this girl is- and she’s only 19?! Dude, we are so impressed. Anna Hunter is a self-described “Kate Bush enthusiast” hailing from Winnipeg, which is apparently flatter than Saskatchewan. Her music can be described as a mix of punk,...

Little bit different from our usual episodes, but we like to switch it up sometimes! And before we are radio or podcast hosts, we are women! Without other feminists who came before us, we wouldn’t have a lot of the same choices and freedoms we have today. Lots of men tend to steer away from feminism because they tend to believe that feminism = “we hate men”. The truth is, feminism needs men’s supp...

We just have to keep talking about all the P Diddy stuff honestly because?!?! I mean, we kind of expected it, but did anyone think it was THIS bad? Ashton Kutcher is currently getting a divorce with Mila Kunis (initiated by her possibility?) and he was best friends with Diddy. And he had an organization against sex trafficking…? We talk about all that in here and more. We’ll also definitely be mak...

At the end of September, we interviewed Jessica Gares, a local filmmaker who just got done filming her most recent one, "Maneater", earlier in the month :) We talk about the film, filmmaking in general, and some other cool stuff. Be sure to check her out online if you want to stay updated on her future projects! Jess' Instagram: www.instagram.com/jessthecreativemess Our Instagram: www.instagram.co...

How do you even get 1000 bottles of baby oil??? And, follow up question, wouldn’t that make it significantly harder to “freak”?????? Wouldn’t they just slip around?? There’s lots of questionable things in the case of P. Diddy, stick around while we look at em

Convicted killer Wade Wilson has become a recognizable figure for his horrendous murders and good looks?? People are comparing him to the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy, because of the way he persuades women with his appearance. Wilson has been convicted of two cases of murder and has been sentenced to death. However, he has a dedicated fan base who are actively trying to reduce his sentence. In...

Chappell Roan is one of the newest artists in pop music but she has already made a significant impact. How crazy is it that a queer artist, writing about the queer experience, has been consistently topping the charts since early 2024? This would not have been the case even just a couple decades ago. We love her music, her persona as an artist, and the fact that she’s not afraid to speak her mind o...

Does this even need a description? If you haven’t seen Jojo Siwa on your timeline, where have you been for the past year? Everything we know about her is stuff we’ve found out unwillingly. Taking a closer look though, it’s (tbh) kind of sad. Jojo Siwa is a child star who has never known what it means to be a normal kid. Could this contribute to the cringe? Potentially (likely, yes). We talk about...

Last week we interviewed DJ Bad Carlotta!! She is a DJ (of course), but also a local activist, the president of our station (CJTR), 1/2 of DJ Bad Baby, and a recipient of CBC’s Future 40 award! We love her and had a great time getting to know her more, and y’all will too. Check us out LIVE every Monday 6-7pm CST on 91.3FM CJTR, where we play tons of cool people’s music. We also interview local art...

“It Ends With Us” is a New York Times bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover, but has recently been made into a film by the same name. Directed by Justin Baldini, he plays the husband of the main character, “Lily Blossom Bloom” (played by Blake Lively). Despite the book being known to have helped tons of d*mestic v*olence survivors globally, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the movie its...

**SPOILER WARNING** We’re back with some pop culture content! Recently, we went to see the movie “Maxxxine.” We LOVED IT and wanted to talk more about it! We discuss the other movies in the franchise as well (“X”and “Pearl”). We delve into the idea of the “Final Girl” in horror movies and how these films depict this type of character in an original way. We also talk about our favourite scenes from...
