Special Thanks
We would like to extend our gratitude to all who helped make this happen: Professor Engelhardt, for helping to guide us through the process; Peter Marvin and the rest of the IT department for setting up multiple valuable tech sessions; the Woman Songwriter Collective for letting us film their Women’s History Month shows and for being incredibly entertaining and impressive at what they do; June Millington and Ann Hackler (and Ami) for amicably accepting us into their home, making us tea, not ceasing to be amazing, and making us not want to ever leave; Erin McKeown for schlepping over to IMA to partake in a wonderful interview; and thanks all of our other lovely interviewees, without whom this project could never have happened — Zoë Darrow, Carrie Ferguson, Sajo Jefferson, J.J. O’Connell, Garrett Sawyer, and Chris Scanlon.
