On this week’s episode of The Waves, what’s it like to be an indie
musician? Slate senior producer Cheyna Roth is joined by singer and
songwriter Dessa. They dig into her newest album and how she has
benefited from and been hurt by being a woman in the music
industry. Later in the show they explore the breakup song - and all
the gendered expectations that go along with writing one.  In
