Just Being Miley: From Twerking to Rockstar Status

We finally decided to pass the Bechdel test and do an episode revolving around a woman in music. We thought it'd be fitting as mid-range millennials to discuss a major part of the pop-culture discourse over the past decade, Miley Cyrus. Miley's career began by being the poster child of Disney Channel, starring in one of their most beloved shows, Hannah Montana. As she became an adult her journey to finding herself was an uphill battle and a rocky road all in one. In this episode we dive deep into how Miley reached the rockstar heights she's reached today. Starting from her 2008 Vanity Fair cover "scandal" to the VMAs spectacle with Robin Thicke to appropriating hip-hop culture to finally finding her niche with rock music this year. Come for the scandal and stay for the growth we always love to see hear about.
