Lydia Lunch: podcast appearances and interviews

Lydia Lunch, born Lydia Anne Koch on June 2, 1959, is an American singer, poet, writer, actress, and self-empowerment speaker. Her career began in the 1970s within the New York City no wave scene, where she gained recognition as the singer and guitarist of the band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. Known for her provocative and confrontational style, Lunch's work often features noise music with an emphasis on anti-commercial principles. She has maintained an independent approach by operating outside major labels and distributors. Her influence has been acknowledged by publications such as the Boston Phoenix, which named her one of the ten most influential performers of the 1990s, and Kerrang! which recognized a song featuring her as one of the '50 Most Evil Songs Ever'.
