The Rushfield Babylon Podcast #12: From Grunge to Giggles

Two very important women from the forefront of two very important movements join the podcast today.

First up we chat with Patty Schemel, drummer for the iconic Grunge band Hole and subject of a new documentary Hit So Hard which looks at her rise to music stardom, tragic flameout and downfall that followed which led to her living on the streets trying to score drugs and the heroic road back.

Then we visit with Molly McAleer aka Molls, internet icon, writer for Two Broke Girls and co-founder of the internet sensastion Hello Giggles. We speak of the hype/backlash paradigm and Molls’ long road to build something lasting out of internet fame. 

And as ever thoughts on the downfall of civilization on this the podcast devoted to the decline and the fall of our culture.

I love Richard Rushfield. It was so fun to do this. I’m mostly interested in the interview before mine, though…
