In this solo episode, Mica tells us how she makes the big bucks (spoiler alert: she does not make big bucks, but she does OK) through a combination of freelance writing, podcasting, and Christmas elf work. She also outlines in painstaking detail how she got to where she is now, running through her history with university a cappella, failed dance auditions, and shockingly bad applications to academic institutions. Mica also defends her so-called “fluff” articles for Vice.com, and tells us why masturbation stories have their place in the digital dialogue.
Writer and musician Mica Lemiski interviews women and non-binary artists about a range of topics (gender! politics! love! literature!) in a podcast best-suited to bitches, witches, and anyone who’s ever been called “hysterical.”
