International Women s Day: KEXP DJs Share Their Bandcamp Friday Picks KEXP
Being a woman is complicated. As a woman in mostly dude-dominated industries, I’ve tried to hide the fact that I’m a person who could maybe procreate one day for my whole adult career. So when I showed up nine months pregnant for my third (but first in-person) interview at KEXP, I thought “Well, here goes nothing!”
Spoiler: They hired me! I had a baby in March 2020 (amidst not much other stress, really), went on maternity leave, and started at KEXP in June. I quickly realized how many wildly talented and kind women work at this place and how much they are doing. Working while female has only become more complicated. Our country watched 5.4 million women lose jobs since this pandemic began. I feel so lucky to have a job and feel so grateful for the women inside and outside of KEXP, on the airwaves and in my headphones who help me make it work.

Either way, the narrator is biding her time as she sings that she’ll be waiting. The drums are soft but steady, giving the song a musing sort of quality.
