Madame Gandhi

Season 3 Episode 2 | 27m 43s

We first learned about Kiran ‘Madame’ Gandhi in 2016 after seeing her speak at the Soho house in Los Angeles, CA. She was advertised as part of a panel of musicians who were chosen to speak about the emboldened voices of women and the radical change they initiate through music. Not a lot of folks were speaking about this stuff at this time. Especially not women. Brown women. And queer women.

Aired: 02/12/25
Sponsored in part by the Rutland Regional Medical Center and the Vermont Arts Council
