Our guest picking the music today is one of the most powerful voices in the music industry. New York-based music journalist Puja Patel was the editor-in-chief of Pitchfork, a hugely influential music publication.
Previous to that, Puja was the editor of SPIN, the culture editor of Deadspin and has written for Rolling Stone, Washington Post, VICE, FADER and local NY rag The Village Voice.
Puja is widely credited for bringing diversity to Pitchfork’s music reviews and festivals. She has been an absolute champion of black, queer, and woman artists, and has relentlessly used her platform for change.
Earlier this year it was announced that Pitchfork was being folded into GQ magazine and, after six years at the helm, Puja left the publication.
