Gender equity in the music industry still has a long way to go. The University of Southern California has been studying inclusion in the recording studio for years. In 2018, it found that out of the songs that made it on Billboard?s year end Hot 100 chart, along with the nominees in top Grammy categories, only 2% of those songs were produced by women. That number only increased to 3.4% in 2022.

On this episode, we revisit a story we first aired in 2019. It?s by Contributor Celine Teo-Blockey, who reported on the challenges that Sarah Tudzin of Illuminati Hotties has overcome to become a musician and producer.

It was written following the passing of Vagabon?s dear friend and collaborator, Eric Littmann. Vagabon talks with Emily Fox about Eric Littman?s impact on her, making upbeat music through grief, and retreating to Germany for a mental reset while she made this album. 

?I felt tremendous guilt about the music that was coming out of me in this time. I fully thought I would make a somber record. I had all these things that I wanted to say but it turned out I didn?t want to say those things on songs. I was having those conversations in my life . . . and so the music I was making ended up being kind of opposite from the grief I was living in. It really was a form of escapism for me and an honor to Eric?s life because he lived so vibrantly,? Vagabon says.
