Talk It Out is a podcast where Mia Sawaya discusses a topic, like feminism or religion, through music. Each episode, she discusses around three songs that bring up different aspects of the topic. Herself and a guest will form their conversation on the topic around the lyrics of the songs. Hopefully anyone listening will realize how influential good music can be, and the importance of embracing different viewpoints. Enjoy the music and conversations!

In this episode, I use songs to discuss different aspects of feminism. We discuss sexual assault, stereotypes, and confidence in women. The guest is my good friend Shikha Srinivas who always adds an informative and insightful perspective to a conversation. I do not have the rights to all the songs, so check out the links below.
