This week, we look at the new Hulu documentary ‘Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery’ which details the creation and legacy of the first female-driven music concert.

In the late 1990s, Sarah McLachlan and other major female artists banded together to kick off Lilith Fair. Against all odds, the concert series flew in the face of the male-dominated music industry and proved a huge success, outgrossing the more publicized male-focused concerts like Lollapalooza. The new Hulu documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery explores the origins of the event, reactions at the time, and its legacy on popular culture as well as the music industry today. We review the series with our own memories of the era.

We close our podcast with a Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
