Carrie Brownstein is well known for the caricatures she paints — of her contemporaries and of herself.

Her IFC show Portlandia, created with Fred Armisen, premiered its eighth and final season on January 18. The show has grown to be loved by many for its incisive humor and intelligent silliness about the idiosyncracies of the urban left (and resented by some real-life Portlandians for the same reason). Brownstein is currently adapting her 2015 memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl, for a Hulu pilot that promises to portray her life and ascent — coming of age in the Pacific Northwest, finding a community in the riot grrrl movement and breaking out nationally with her band Sleater-Kinney — with a similar sincerity.

On this episode of It’s Been a Minute, Brownstein reflects on the arc of Portlandia, the relevance of riot grrrl to contemporary conversations about feminism and managing the anxiety that comes with performance.
