Corrina Hodgson, a playwright, talks about her newest play "Enough Already" that recounts the story of one woman with chronic pain. Corrina also discusses disability politics and the personal connection she has with her play.

Then, in the last third of the show we talk to Ouroboros co-founders Hannah Harris-Sutro and Perneet Chohan about alternative healing spaces and the barriers imposed by others to physical accessibility.

Today we talk with Extreme States co-founders Carol TenBrink and Stephanie Lawrence. Extreme States is a spoken-word show that deals with a woman's mental breakdown and healing.

The Fringe Festival in Montreal, where this show was performed in 2016, resumes the play in the following words:

"Extreme states; rupture or rapture? A young woman experiences a mental breakdown and breakthrough, a rebirth from her own body. An older woman turns from outer reality to inner images and psychedelic voyages. Both remember the voice from the depths, the beat from the ground. "

Listen to hear them talk about their show and its basis in real life. They even perform little bits and pieces of poetry here and there!

This week we bring you an excerpt of the intersectional podcast Broad Science that talks about the way chronic pain is not treated as a legitimate illness, and how this intersects with female-specific illnesses being dismissed within medical institutions.

Rackeb and Emily, the two women behind the series, are both completing their masters at McGill University. The two hail from Toronto and are the founders behind Broad Science, a monthly podcast dedicated to making science inclusive, intersectional, and engaging.
