Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 21: Rewriting the Rules of Power with Hannah Wicklund
Q: How has redefining power and building the Tribune changed her approach to art and collaboration?
The shift toward shared ecosystems and depedestaling art reframes power as an expansive, collaborative force that uplifts peers, allows for more authentic creative output, and reduces gatekeeping, making it possible for more people to participate in the creative process.
Episode 21: Rewriting the Rules of Power with Hannah Wicklund
Q: Was it intentional to include Calling All Good Men as part of War on Women, and how does that shape the narrative toward engaging men?
Yes, it was intentional: the track serves as an olive branch to men, signaling that the project loves men and aims to invite them into the conversation, while continuing to center female empowerment and collaboration.
Episode 21: Rewriting the Rules of Power with Hannah Wicklund
Q: So Hannah, in terms of the new album, when is it out? Where can people expect to find it?
The release plan centers on physical media through the Strawberry Moon Tribune, with the first track hitting streaming platforms on June 29, followed by one track per full moon for a year, and CD/vinyl release on August 28. This lunar release strategy ties the music to the Tribune's publishing rhythm and rewards supporters who buy physical formats.
