    Dr. Jada Watson spent her childhood taping the Country radio countdowns so she could listen and teach herself to play them on the piano.

    Flash forward to today - Jada researches representation on radio programming and popularity charts, evaluating the rate at which songs by women, artists of color, and LGBTQ+ artists are played on country and other formats across the USA and Canada (SongData.ca). Dr. Watson is an Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities in the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa.

    With the release of her latest work, “Share The Air: A Study Of Gender Representation on Canadian Radio”, I sat down with Jada to explore her research over the years, zeroing in on the country music landscape, and how it is evolving.
