The Hold Steady is for Women is a podcast about fandom, taking up space, and reclaiming America's Greatest Bar Band for Dads as America's Greatest Band for Everyone Who Wants to Have a Good Time Tonight. We share our origin stories, favorite shows, scene reports, and most importantly, drive home the fact that The Hold Steady is for all of us. Hosted by Desi, Heidi and Kayleigh.
Our intro and outro music is "You Can Make Him Like You," written by The Hold Steady and performed by Early Riser.

"Massive Nights and Nervous Coughs"
We're back, baybee! What have we been up to? How was Massive Nights 2021? Who are The Grifters? How many animals interrupted the making of this episode? Why are men? All these answers and MORE in the first episode of The Hold Steady is for Women in 2022. (Unfortunately, I was watching 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' while writing this episode description and it may have influenced its tone. Sorry. -HV)

Customer Reviews
THANK YOU!!!
Honestly, being a huge fan of the band and a woman can be the teensiest big isolating. It’s amazing to hear you all. With love from the unified scene.
The best Hold Steady podcast
Love the podcast, it’s the best The Hold Steady podcast I’ve heard. I love the honesty and the stories of how the ladies relate to the music.
An absolute delight
I’m admittedly a pretty casual Hold Steady fan, but I always love hearing people talk about something they’re passionate about. This podcast is absolutely delightful to listen to, even if you’re not a mega fan of the band.
