Ellie and Carrie explore the first five episodes of season 2 of "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip" (Ex-Wives Club) through a postfeminist framework that emphasizes neoliberal values like individualism, self-reinvention, femininity as a bodily property, conspicuous consumption, and spectacular selfhood. Key works cited are Evie Psarras' 2020 New Media & Society article "Emotional camping: The cross-platform labor of the Real Housewives," Beverly Skeggs and Helen Wood's 2012 book "Reacting to Reality Television: Performance, Audience and Value," and Rosalind Gill and Christina Scharff's "New Femininities: Postfeminism, Neoliberalism and Subjectivity" (2011). One question we forgot to ask: You hoofin'?

Rhian E. Jones, editor of Red Pepper and writer and editor of several books including two about music and one on popular culture, joins us to talk about social class as it pertains to UK popular music and its major influences.    The conversation starts roughly in the Twentieth Century with brass bands, Joe Hill, and music hall, then wends its way inexorably to the Thatcher years, the revolutionary truth about lemons, a song about a motorcycle, and eventually to the present day, Grime, and working class access to music.    We have put together a playlist to accompany this episode, available on Spotify and Apple Music.   Our Patreon   Buy our merch     Second Row Socialists on Twitter     Comradio on Twitter       Alternative Left Entertainment     Follow ALE on Twitter     Rhian's Twitter    Red Pepper on Twitter    Clampdown - Pop-cultural wars on class and gender by Rhian E Jones (2013)    Triptych : Three Studies of Manic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible by Larissa Wodtke, Rhian E Jones, Daniel Lukes (2017)    Under My Thumb: Songs that hate women and the women who love them by Rhian E Jones, Eli Davis (2017)    Paint Your Town Red : How Preston Took Back Control and Your Town Can Too by Matthew Brown, Rhian E Jones (2021)   Music playlist - Spotify    Music playlist - Apple Music     Nixon's "Great Silent Majority"    Citations Needed | Episode 119: How the Right Shaped Pop Country Music    The Elvic Oracle: Did Anyone Invent Rock N Roll? - Louis Menand in The New Yorker (2015)    Trashfuture - Britainology 9: UK Rave Culture    History of Factory Records    One leaf that David Cameron should take out of Thatcher's book - Barbara Gunnell in The Guardian (2011)    Cover of the first Stone Roses album    James of Manic Street Preachers wears a balaclava on TOTP    Richey Edwards: The mysterious disappearance of the Manic Street Preachers star, 25 years on - Ed Power in The Independent (2020)    ‘McDonalds' Music' Versus ‘Serious Music': How Production and Consumption Practices Help to Reproduce Class Inequality in the Classical Music Profession - Anna Bull and Christina Scharff (2017)    Trashfuture - A Functioning State?

Why do musicians look down on well-paying gigs? Why do some musicians have difficulties with self-promotion? What does small-talk have to do with being a successful classical musician? The Classical Musical world is working diligently to make Classical Music more inclusive and diverse. But any working musician will tell you that the real world of musicians, based on working gigs and networking, does not always match the ideals we're aiming for. But why? For the past decade, Dr. Christina Scharff of Kings College London has been using sociological assessment to figure it out. In this episode, she walks Christine through her research and brings to light answers for many of the questions and roadblocks freelance musicians face.

What sort of inequalities characterize classical music today? In Gender, Subjectivity, and Cultural Work: The Classical Music Profession (Routledge, 2018), Christina Scharff, a senior lecturer in culture, media and creative industries in the department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries at King's College London, offers a detailed analysis of the way the classical music profession is marked by race, class, and gender inequalities. Drawing on contemporary debates in feminism, the work of Michel Foucault, and a critique of the entrepreneurial self, the book offers a comparative study of London and Berlin. In doing so it positions classical music as a crucial site for understanding not only cultural and creative industries, but the entirety of our unequal, post-feminist economy and society. It will be required reading and citation for all creative industries scholars, as well as an important text for cultural and media studies, sociology, music, and anyone interested in the relationship between culture and social inequality.
