About A Girl
Bringing women out from the shadows of music history. Familiar characters, new perspectives.
Introducing About A Girl Season 2
About A Girl is back with 12 new stories about women who have played crucial roles in music history, but whose fascinating personal stories have been eclipsed by the legends of their famous romantic partners. Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull, Notorious BIG and Faith Evans, Miles and Betty Davis... Host Nikki Lynette sheds light upon the women — many of them artists themselves — without whom the landscape of popular music might be very different. About a Girl is executive produced by Jake Brennan of Disgraceland and premieres on June 7, 2021. Listen to About A Girl on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
