In this episode, I talk with all-round legend and creative powerhouse Georgia Maq. This episode covers all things feminism, music, her journey as a nurse, healing, the current issues within the Australian music industry and what's next for Georgia now that Camp Cope has announced it's split.

Massive apology for my terrible audio, but we can hear Gee so that is all that matters.


About Georgia Maq: (Bio from Amrap)
Georgia McDonald has established herself in recent years as the singer and guitarist of Melbourne, Australia indie rock band Camp Cope, whose sophomore album How to Socialise and Make Friends (Run For Cover/Poison City Records) won widespread acclaim, topping a slew of 2018 end of year lists including NPR, Pitchfork, Billboard, Bandcamp, Stereogum, The Guardian, and Brooklyn Vegan.

The impact of the trio's music on the indie landscape has been undeniable, with McDonald emerging as a brave, resilient, and often politicised figure. Using her formidable voice to fight for the betterment of the music industry and rally against sexism, racism and all forms of structural inequality, she has never shied away from the uncomfortable and difficult topics that dominate the news cycle.
