Obsessions: Mae Muller On The Power Of Rihanna

Obsessions: Mae Muller On The Power Of Rihanna

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.


Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the incredible Mae Muller. The London based singer-songwriter will be telling us all about her obsession with Rihanna! An obsession she probably shares with half the world, (including both Olivia and Ione), Mae tells us everything from the first time she heard her music, to her impact on her as a fellow musician, her refusal to be boxed into one profession and much more. We're also chatting to Mae about stan and fan culture, why we need to reject the idea of 'good' female role models, and the pressure on women to present as perfect at all times


The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham (@og.irl). Polyester is a self published culture zine exploring intersectional URL feminism in the IRL world. Have faith in your own bad taste!
