This week on The SoapBox Lex, Paul and Eric are joined by a very special guest — Babs, a local music aficionado, performer, and advocate for women in rock. Babs brings the heat with a passionate discussion about gender disparities in the music scene, from how women are booked on shows to the different standards and expectations they face compared to their male counterparts.

From local venues to national stages, we unpack the unspoken rules, the stereotypes, and the cultural norms that still shape the music industry today. It’s a conversation about representation, respect, and the rock and roll spirit that refuses to be silenced.

Whether you’re a musician, a fan, or someone curious about the behind-the-scenes reality of live music, this episode strikes a chord. 🎸🔥

In this episode of Quick Hits from The SoapBox Lex, Paul and Eric go full-speed through a lightning round of curious, quirky, and conversational topics. We go back to a galaxy far, far away with a quick Star Wars soapbox, then bring it back down to Earth with the awkward art of walking across campus. Ever wonder the right way to cook a steak? We’ve got opinions. What about the surprisingly common act of running… in jeans? And why do people always find things in “the last place they look”? It’s a fast, funny, and completely unpredictable ride.

💉 In this candid and compelling episode of The SoapBox Lex, Eric and Paul dive deep into one of Paul's greatest personal fears—needles. From childhood anxieties to adult avoidance strategies, the duo explores the roots of this fear, how it's affected Paul's life, and the steps he's taken (or avoided!) to overcome it.
