BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds have announced a new eight-part series called Courtney Love’s Women. The audio program will find the Hole singer discussing the women who’ve influenced her while also reflecting on several aspects of her life and career.
Love will be joined by writer Rob Harvilla throughout the series. Per a press release, the Hole frontwoman will take “listeners on an intimate and unfiltered, era by era journey through her life and the music that made her.”
Among the various events in her life that Love will touch upon are the time she recited Sylvia Plath poetry for a Mickey Mouse Club audition; her drug abuse struggles; her role in The People vs. Larry Flynt; an attempt to play matchmaker with Stevie Nicks and Billy Corgan; hanging out at the Playboy Mansion with Debbie Harry during a Limp Bizkit album launch party; her relationship with Kurt Cobain; and more.
“Courtney Love is an icon and a trailblazer — her influence on music and culture over the decades is undeniable,” stated Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music. “At 6 Music, we invite artists to share their stories directly with their fans and our listeners and I’m very proud that Courtney will be hosting a series of incredible shows for us in April.”
She added, “Halfway through the series, on Friday 12th April, we’ll celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Courtney’s most powerful works — Hole’s Live Through This — by dedicating the schedule to her music, the music that influenced her and the artists she’s inspired in ‘Courtney Love Forever.’”
Episodes 1-4 of Courtney Love’s Women will be available on BBC Sounds beginning April 8th, and broadcast on BBC 6 Music April 8th-11th. Episodes 5-8 will be available on BBC Sounds beginning April 15th and broadcast on BBC 6 Music from April 15th-18th. BBC Sounds is available in most countries wherever you get your apps.
