Long before the world had a hashtag for workplace abuse, Sheila White was already fighting it.

On this compelling episode of the Marti Oakley Show, Coz Skaife and Marcel Reid interview the woman whose courage reshaped employment law in America.

As the only woman working in a Tennessee rail yard, Sheila endured sexual harassment — and when she reported it, she faced swift retaliation meant to silence her. Instead of backing down, she fought.

Her case, Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. White, went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, where she won in a unanimous 9–0 decision. The ruling expanded the legal definition of workplace retaliation under Title VII, establishing that employers cannot take materially adverse actions designed to deter employees from reporting misconduct.

Today, her case is taught in leading law schools nationwide and remains a cornerstone of modern civil rights and employment law.

Sheila's story is more than legal precedent — it is proof that one voice, refusing to be silenced, can change the system for millions.

She made America laugh. But her final chapter is no joke.

On this compelling episode of the Marti Oakley Show, Coz Skaife and Marcel Reid are joined by Liz Rizzo for an emotional update on the life and tragic story of Rusty Warren.

Rusty Warren was a bold, groundbreaking comedian who rose to fame in the 60s and 70s, challenging taboos and giving women a fearless voice in comedy. But beyond the spotlight was a woman whose later years raise serious questions about protection, power, and accountability.

Liz shares who Rusty truly was, the painful developments surrounding her case, and discusses her newly published books documenting Rusty's life and preserving the truth of what happened.

It's a raw conversation — filled with heartbreak, reflection, and even moments of laughter that reveal the deep friendships forged through adversity. Liz also recounts her experience working with Dog the Bounty Hunter, offering insight into advocacy under public scrutiny.

Because legends deserve to be remembered fully — not just for how they made us laugh, but for the truth of their lives.

When whistleblowers speak… systems shake.

But that's not all.

Because when whistleblowers unite… silence is no longer an option.

Australia is known as a beautiful country filled with vibrant cities and welcoming people. But behind that image, a disturbing reality is emerging.

Advocates and families are sounding the alarm over what may be one of the most aggressive and abusive guardianship systems targeting the elderly and disabled anywhere in the world.

Join Coz Skaife, Marcel Reid, and Chris Dalas on the Marti Oakley Show as they pull back the curtain on a growing, profit-driven guardianship machine many are calling the “parasitoid industry.”

Hear the stories, examine the evidence, and explore whether vulnerable people are being stripped of their rights in plain sight.

This episode of Marti Oakley's TS Radio features guest David Deighton, creator of the Triptych Dialogue project — a thoughtful exploration of human connection, deep listening, and meaningful conversation in an increasingly fractured world.

While TS Radio continues to expose the harsh realities faced by victims of guardianship and systemic abuse, this conversation offers an important counterbalance. David's work reminds us that even in the midst of loss of rights, isolation, and injustice, there is still beauty in meeting others, engaging in honest dialogue, and reclaiming our humanity through connection.

David shares how intentional conversation can cut through division, restore empathy, and create moments of understanding — even between strangers with very different life experiences. His approach challenges us to slow down, listen more deeply, and recognize the power of presence in a time when so many voices are silenced.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on resilience, dignity, and the healing potential of genuine human engagement.

Together, Jean, Coz, and Marcel challenge long-held assumptions, reveal the human cost of silence, and ignite a conversation that demands to be heard.
