Guest: Lisa Whittington-Hill, author of ”The Go-Go’s - Beauty And The Beat” from the 33 1/3 Series

In this episode our guest is Lisa Whittington-Hill, author of ”The Go-Go's - Beauty And The Beat” from the 33 1/3 Series.  We discuss the musical and greater cultural impact of the iconic debut album from The Go-Go's, whether it was an intentionally feminist touchstone, and why it still sounds so good 40+ years after it's release.

”The Go-Go's - Beauty And The Beat” and the entire 33 1/3 Series is available from Bloomsbury Academic Books. Lisa's other new book, "Girls, Interrupted: How Pop Culture is Failing Women" is available from Véhicule Press.
