Midlands-based journalist, singer and guitarist in the black feminist punk band Big Joanie and author of the book 'Why Solange Matters', Stephanie Phillips knows her stuff when it comes to music and books. So we were dead excited when she agreed to come on Songbook to talk about Kristin Hersh's memoir 'Rat Girl'.


Whilst chatting about the book Jude and Stephanie manage to cover Destiny’s Child, reading the NME in the noughties, writing teenage diaries, the dreaded 'what's it like being a woman in a band' question and why Stephanie doesn't need or indeed want to play music with men.


A brilliant chat between two brilliant women.
