About MargRock
MargRock is a podcast aimed at celebrating and bringing into focus music created by and for people of marginalized genders and sexualities. The podcast was originally created for WKNC 88.1 FM as FemRock by Coleen Kinen-Ferguson and reimagined as MargRock by Liz Baron in 2019 as an effort to bring awareness to underrepresented voices in the music scene.
About Liz Baron
Hello! I’m Liz Baron and I host MargRock, a podcast about celebrating and bringing into focus music created by and for people of marginalized genders and sexualities. I’ve always been into seeking out music created by people that aren’t straight white cis men, and when the opportunity came up to host my own podcast at WKNC, I knew that was the direction I wanted to take it in. Right now, the focus of MargRock is on local bands, since there is such an abundance of raw talent and passion in our local music scene (a phrase that you’ll hear me say about a hundred times per episode). I’m a transfer student at NC State majoring in geology, and when I’m not podcasting, you can find me drawing with whatever markers I just bought or expanding my never-ending indoor plant collection.
