About the fluffle podcast: Hosted by music journalist and music industry executive Jocelle Koh, the fluffle podcast is a monthly podcast dedicated to uncovering empowering stories of women in music across Asia.
"‘the fluffle podcast’ is a love letter to all the female friendships that have taught me to forge my own path and stand my ground. Our intention is to bring listeners right into the space that so many women in music have held for ME – where collaboration, creativity and comfort intersect, and hopefully encourage others to seek out the same within their own circles” - Jocelle Koh
