8Track with Guest DJs Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney have been staples in the indie rock scene for the past two and half decades, and recently released their self-produced 10th album, Path of Wellness. While it would be easy to just geek out over the band's musical accomplishments, I wanted to dive deeper into their inspirations by inviting Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein to guest DJ on "8 Track."

For their 8 songs, Corin picked a “heroes” theme, and it made for some great storytelling and conversation around an impressive list of artists who have helped shape them creatively, professionally and personally.
