Description

The Last Bohemians is an award-winning, critically acclaimed podcast that meets maverick and radical women in arts and culture and takes listeners on an evocative trip through their extraordinary lives. From subversive musicians and style icons to game-changing artists, these are women who have lived life on the edge and who still refuse to play by the rules. The series was created in 2019 by host and journalist Kate Hutchinson and is produced by a team of rising women and non-binary talents in audio, with photography by Laura Kelly. Season 1 features Molly Parkin, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Pauline Black and more; Season 2 stars Judy Collins, Gee Vaucher, Zandra Rhodes and P.P. Arnold; Season 3 is with Maggi Hambling, Cleo Sylvestre and Dana Gillespie; Season 4 goes to LA with Angelyne, Gloria Hendry, Linda Ramone, Penny Slinger, Johanna Went and more. In 2020, The Last Bohemians published a lockdown special with performance artist Marina Abramović and the series returns in 2025 with the late Nikki Giovanni. The Last Bohemians has been a podcast of the week in the Guardian, Observer New Review, The Financial Times and on Radio 4. It has been featured in The New Yorker, Frieze, Another, Dazed, Refinery29 and many more. The podcast won silver for Best New Podcast at the British Podcast Awards 2020 and was a finalist for the Grassroots Production Award at the 2021 Audio Production Awards.

The Guardian Feisty, heartfelt and bursting with wisdom" NME "A rhapsodic, necessary retelling of trailblazer stories" Dazed thelastbohemians.substack.com
