In this episode of In The Making, host Michael Ryan Betz sits down with the legendary indie-pop band BETTY—Elizabeth Ziff, Amy Ziff, and Alyson Palmer—for a heartfelt, funny, and deeply inspiring conversation.
With nearly four decades of fearless authenticity behind them, BETTY shares:
How their activism began at the height of the AIDS crisis
The political roots of their work in Washington, D.C.
Stories of motherhood on the road (including gigs 10 days post-birth!)
The power of women’s friendship and joyful resistance
Composing for film—including their latest project headed to Cannes Film Festival
Why they still believe in dancing through the revolution
🎶 Featuring songs from BETTY’s latest album EAT
