Flock Talk with the Femme Flock
Welcome to Flock Talk, the ultimate jam band community podcast where the grooves are endless, and the vibes are infectious!
We’re Niki and Jess ~The Femme Flock~ and were two jamband fans who met at a Goose show and are building a community celebrating the culture, creativity, and camaraderie of the jam band scene. Flock Talk is more than just a podcast, it’s a movement to amplify women and underrepresented voices in a historically homogenous space.
Each episode, we dive into the world of jam bands through a fresh, femme-forward lens, chatting with the musicians, entrepreneurs, creatives, and fans shaping the scene. From on-lot fashion and festival wellness to life on tour and the magic of live music, we’re here for the stories, the culture, and the people who make this scene sparkle.
So grab your glitter, bubble guns, and flock on.
This podcast is produced in partnership with Osiris Media.

Episode 17: The Flock Talks Creating a More Equitable Music Industry with Emily Bass
This episode, we’re joined by Emily Bass, Executive Director of FEMME HOUSE, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for women, gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the technical and behind-the-scenes areas of music. Emily shares how FEMME HOUSE is breaking systemic barriers in production, mixing, engineering, and DJing through free workshops, online courses, mentorship, and a thriving community.
We dive into Emily’s own journey from PR and crisis communications to leading FEMME HOUSE, the importance of representation both on stage and behind the boards, and why community is everything in today’s music landscape.
PLUS: we chat about the parallels between the jam scene and rave culture, and why good music taste is half the battle when it comes to being a great DJ.
Whether you’re an aspiring producer, a jam scene lifer, or simply curious about the future of music equity, this conversation proves that representation and community are the keys to lasting change.
