It’s HIOQI #17 and we’re talking landmarks… - It’s been 25 years since Kate Bush’s monolith of weird pop amazingness, Hounds of Love, was released.  Washington DC-based musician, engineer and producer Chad Clark breaks down its awesomeness. - Unless you were a fetus or living in a bubble in the early 1990s, you probably heard a thing or two about Riot Grrrl.  Unfortunately, what you heard back then was probably wrong; Brooklyn, NY, author Sara Marcus joins us to talk about her just-released book, Girls To The Front, which provides the first comprehensive history of the movement. We’ve also got a listener quiz, Gossip Wolf, Twitter updates, and more!
