Intersex has been in the news lately. 'Intersex' describes a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. Hear about a hero of the American Revolution who was probably intersex, and an Olympic runner who has just been banned from competing in certain events. Also, the illegal capture of whales in Russia, and changes in the status of recycling in Lexington, KY. They aren't recycling paper anymore!

Bench Talk is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.
