Shownotes

We kick off a brand-new season of Queens Podcast with the one and only Janis Joplin—Port Arthur’s wild child who became a 1960s rock legend. From awkward high-school years in segregated Texas to discovering the blues, to fronting Big Brother & the Holding Company, bringing down the house at Monterey Pop, and flying into Woodstock by helicopter, Katy and Nathan trace the meteoric rise—and heartbreaking fall—of a woman who refused to shrink herself. Expect Texas gossip, bisexual chaos, and the usual Queens Podcast charm
