We are Alicia and Lauren, your Deviant Women hosts! Each fortnight, we discuss a ‘deviant’ woman from history, fiction, mythology or the contemporary world. Women who aren’t afraid to break the rules, to subvert the system, to explore, to seek and to challenge the status quo.
But we also like to dig deep into the ideas that have restricted women's lives and shaped the way we tell their stories. Who gets to be a virgin? Who gets to be a whore? Why not be both?! (It's always better to be both). So join us, won't you, and learn more about the devious, dastardly, and daring women overlooked in the history books.

Wendy Carlos w/ India Hooi
When Wendy Carlos released Switched On Bach, the first classical album recorded on a synthesizer, she radically transformed people's understandings of what electronic music could do. At the time of the album's release, Wendy was also six-months into hormone therapy and struggling with her rising fame and anxieties about how the public might react to her transition. But Switched On Bach was a huge success and Wendy went on not only to critical acclaim, but to work with famed composers and film directors, including scoring Stanley Kubrik's A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. Join Lauren and our special guest host, Deviant Women's own composer India Hooi, as we discover how Wendy Carlos changed music forever!

Next Episode
Katsura Masako
During the turbulent years of World War II the pool halls and billiard rooms of the U.S. were quiet: the men who had once populated them had gone off to fight. But after the war a new buzz brought audiences flooding back to professional billiards, and an unexpected star was on the rise. Known as the 'First Lady of Billiards', Masako Katsura hailed from Japan, where she had already established herself as a national champion. But after meeting and marrying an American serviceman, Katsura found herself in the U.S., where a resurgence in the sport meant she stood to become the world's first female billiards champion. So come on and chalk your cue (that's not a euphemism...) as we delve into the world of a woman whose ball skills (also not a euphemism...) paved the way for women in the male-dominated world of professional billiards.
