The Existential Joni Mitchell

Riotboy Productions presents Phonogenics 101 - the podcast where people who love music discuss albums track by track.

For this special end of season two episode, the Joni Mitchell Phonogenics family reunites to work through a series of topics including:
-The injustice of the way females are treated and viewed in the music industry as they age - and how Joni Mitchell fits into this picture

-How the Jann Wanner controversy shed light on the way females are subcategorized in the music industry while men are not

-During the 70s Joni often aligned herself with black culture, including an album cover where she appeared in black face.  Joni's words and visuals from that era are put under a modern microscope.  The panel also ponders what our perception of Joni would be if she actually was BIPOC.

-Over the last few months Joni gave iconic performances at both the Grammy's at the ceremony honoring Elton John's Gershwin award.   These performances are considered and discussed.

-The conversation wraps up with predictions on the remaining releases in the Joni Mitchell archive series.

In the era of the digital single it's important to remember the artistry of the LP.  During our Phonogenics 101 discussions we take an album we love and discuss it in detail, track by track.  Phonogenics is hosted by Tampa performer/songwriter Jeremy Gloff.
