This week’s Nerdette Podcast is all about women of the civil rights movement. Nerdette interviewed Ruth Feldstein, author of the new book ‘How it Feels to be Free: Black Female Entertainers of the Civil Rights Movement’ about how musicians like Nina Simone mixed politics and jazz. Co-host of the Nerdette Podcast Tricia Bobeda is here to talk a little more about this with us.
