The Audacity Of This Pitch S01EP03: Gender Render Bender

The Audacity Of This Pitch Podcast Presented By Duke DiversifyIT

Chris Derickson and J. Brandon Johnson discuss how Elvis stole identity affirmation from Ma Rainey, Loretta Lynn wrote an anthem about bodily autonomy and question where the activist spirit of Aretha Franklin is in today's musical landscape. What song defines your identity? What music calls you to action? What’s your anthem? These questions and more are explored in Duke DiversifyIT’s very first podcast: The Audacity Of This Pitch. Co-hosts Chris Derickson and J. Brandon Johnson explore how we use music to challenge established power structures, validate our identities and find connection with one another.
