It’s hard enough being an underrepresented group within any field. It’s even harder when your creation of alternative spaces for these groups to come together is questioned, or even trolled. Inside this week’s episode, Isobel shares the overall backlash to the premise of her recent free live, female only, workshop from a small minority of strangers on the internet, and why she even had to ban one of them all together. She also shares why she believes femxle-only spaces are crucial in making music technology more inclusive in the long-term.
