Breaking the Glass Ceiling, with SoundGirls' Beckie Campbell & Claire Murphy

"Women working in professional audio make up just 5% of all audio engineers," says tour veteran and host of the SoundGirls podcast Beckie ("Bex") Campbell. That number is staggeringly low, and is something that SoundGirls endeavors to fix. Founded by Karrie Keyes and Michelle Sabolchick Pettinato, SoundGirls "supports women working in professional audio and music production by highlighting their success and providing a place for them to connect, network, and share advice." In this episode, we speak to Bex and Claire Murphy, guitar tech and author of Girl on the Road: How to Break into Touring from a Female Perspective, about SoundGirls approach to providing unique opportunities for aspiring young women, the challenges that need to be overcome, and the roadmap to equality in concert touring.
