Hosted by Sasha Geffen, Shattering Gleam, takes a long, hard look at the ways that society and the music industry are constantly defining, redefining and even defying gender roles and norms. And the impact isn't just felt within entertainment, but among fans and their ever-expanding understandings of self-expression. Hear from countless decorated journalists, professors, music industry experts, authors, fellow musicians and more as they dissect how artists like Prince, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, R.E.M. and beyond have blazed trails in music for others who refuse to be categorized. From turning tropes on their heads to queer representation in music, Geffen and guests will dig below the grit and glamour to explore artists' constant reshaping of what gender really means (or doesn't mean).

Geffen is the author Glitter Up The Dark: How Pop Music Broke the Binary, which takes a historical look at the voices that transcended gender and the ways music has subverted the gender binary. Their work focuses on the interplay between gender and pop culture and has appeared in The Nation, Pitchfork, Artforum, NPR, PAPER Magazine and others.
