For more than 30 years, Janet English has been doing things her own way. As bassist, vocalist and co-founder of Spiderbait – one of Australia's most iconic bands – she's helped pave the way for women in Australian rock, challenging conventions and expectations along the way.
With stories from Spiderbait's gloriously imperfect beginnings and the misfits of Melbourne's early punk scene, Ren and Janet explore why trusting yourself matters more than winning approval, and how fun, friendship and creative experimentation can lead to extraordinary things.
A joyful reminder that being unapologetically yourself isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about trusting who you are, having a go and not caring what anyone else thinks.
