In his new book, Tween Pop: Children’s Music and Public Culture (Duke University Press, 2020), Tyler Bickford explores how the tween music market rose during the mid to late 2000s. Bickford addresses the ways in which the music industry seized only childishness as a key element in legitimizing children's participation in public culture. Starting with how Kidz Bop and Disney’s High School Musical (2006), Bickford argues that tween music culture flourished due to the commodification of childhood and the rise of television and pop music stars. Focusing on the ways that femininity and whiteness are markers are innocence and childhood, Bickford examines Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana through a postfeminist discourse of work life balance, Taylor Swift’s longstanding relationship with girlhood and whiteness, and Justin Bieber’s label as child prodigy as a way to cement his position as a super star. In outlining how tween pop imagined and positioned childhood as both intimate and public as well as a cultural identity to be marketed to, Bickford demonstrates the importance of children's music to core questions of identity politics, consumer culture, and the public sphere. Rebekah Buchanan is an Associate Professor of English at Western Illinois University. She researches zines, zine writers and the influence of music subcultures and fandom on writers and narratives. She is the author of Writing a Riot: Riot Grrrl Zines and Feminist Rhetorics (Peter Lang, 2018).

I first met Shannon Flynn on the set of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn. I had a small but hilarious part as "Peg" the lovable truck driver. And I was nervous. I have always wanted to be on a sitcom for kids. My huge personality and comedy style lends itself to that type of show so I wanted to make a good impression. Shannon, being the pro she is, quickly put me at ease and told me I was really funny. Obviously I fell in love with her on the spot. Director Shannon Flynn I later learned that Shannon has been directing for nearly a decade. She cut her teeth on a little show called, Hannah Montana. Maybe you've heard of it? Yeah me too. She worked every day with Miley Cyrus as a dialect coach and then eventually as a director. She quickly gained notice by other networks like Nickelodeon and starting working regularly on shows like, Austin and Ally, Bella and The Bulldogs, and Jessie. A young Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) became great friends with director Shannon Flynn. But I wanted to talk to her about life beyond her resume because another thing I found out is that she's a married mom of three. And I thought my job was hard! As an actress my thoughts are often very actor-centric. Will any one cast me again? Am I too fat? Too gorgeous? You know, the usual. But director moms have a different yet similar set of worries when they get pregnant. Will they get hired to direct again? How will they find child care? Will they get quality time with their kids if they have to be on set all day? All of these are issues we deal with as parent in the entertainment industry. Shannon told me about what it was like being hugely pregnant on the set of Hannah Montana and not knowing if she would have a job to come back to after giving birth. It's a legit concern for women! And I wish it wasn't. We should have the same job security that our business counterparts to but we don't due to the freelance nature of the industry. Shannon Flynn and her 3 adorable kids! Shannon was very candid about how her career has evolved in the last 10 years, and why she feels there is major inequality among female and male directors. She also reveals some interesting information about the casting process on these types of shows and why often directors don't get to be a part of the process at all. Very eye-opening! You can find out more about Shannon and her upcoming projects at ShannonFlynn.net and you can follower her on Twitter @VoodoSkidoo.
