Flock Talk with the Femme Flock
Welcome to Flock Talk, the podcast from The Femme Flock celebrating the people, creativity, community, and culture that make the jam scene what it is.
Hosted by women from across the jam scene and members of The Femme Flock community, Flock Talk tells the stories of the people who make this scene more than just the music. We sit down with artists from the bands we love, emerging women musicians, community organizers, nonprofits, creatives, and the people building something special within the scene.
From life on tour and the magic of live music to community, fashion, wellness, and the wonderfully weird culture that comes with it, we’re here for the conversations you don’t always hear and the people worth knowing.
At its core, Flock Talk is about making more room at the party: amplifying women and underrepresented voices, building community, and celebrating a scene where everyone deserves to feel like they belong.
So grab your glitter, find your flock, and flock on.
This podcast is produced in partnership with Osiris Media.

Episode 16: The Flock Talks Gen Z in the Jam Scene

This episode, we’re flipping the script and hearing straight from the next generation of jam band lovers. Leighton sits down with two fellow Gen Z’ers, Anna Parks & Alex Corey, to explore what it really means to come of age in a scene often dominated by older crowds and deep-cut gatekeeping.
From early memories of Phish and Widespread Panic to discovering Goose and chasing that New Year’s Eve show magic, Anna & Alex share the origin stories behind their love for the jam, their favorite show moments, most hilarious crowd encounters, and why they keep coming back for more.
We get into the pros and cons of social media in the jam world, the balance between tradition and Gen Z’s fresh spin, and what it feels like to be underestimated from an age and gender standpoint — and then prove everyone wrong once the music starts.
Whether you're a lifelong head, jam-curious, or taking a break from tour, this convo proves the jam scene’s spirit is alive and well — and the kids are more than all right.
