Tanya says 'Putting this show together for International Women's Day gave me the opportunity to revisit the very first women writers and singers that stopped me in my tracks and shaped how I related to music. I'm covering a lot of ground, we'll time travel from 1937 - 2008 and make stops at my teenage love affairs with certain artists through to my more recent heroines. These are songs that showed me great writing or performance, or both, often delivered by ground breakers and path pavers, innovators and stylists that gave me a green light to attempt flying my own flag as a female artist. Looking forward to sharing the sounds that excited me, with you, on 3CR.' Listen here.
