On today’s very special episode of Songmess we are joined by culture writer, human-feline hybrid and longtime friend of the show, Cat Donohue! It’s been about 4 months since our last new music episode and… holy crap what the hell happened to the world while we were exploring El Salvador????

Today’s episode is our long overdue catchup and we’re discussing quarantine life, police brutality, #BlackLivesMatter, ‘el movimiento,’ the resurgence of Regional Mexican music, Pride Month and Cat’s influential writing in the fields of music, cannabis, sexuality and politics. Check out links below to Cat’s new show ‘Crónica’ on Radio Nopal and pre-order ‘She Represents,’ her first book out via Lerner Books this September.
