Our edition 43 November 7th 2019 podcast features WLRN's world news delivered by Sekhmet SheOwl followed by the song "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac. Next, you'll hear an interview Thistle did with New Zealand feminist activist and writer, Renee Gerlich, before hearing the song "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann.

Here is a list of books Renee refers to in her interview:

Harriet Lerner - The Dance of Anger

Gabor Mate - When the Body Says No

Charlotte Kasl - Women, Sex and Addiction

Andrea Dworkin - Our Blood

Here is the video she recommends at the end of the interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C7XAdVxdf8&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR31ywiW3vWyFr5Zkue3zyPrzs6is8L3BD8fuShXQkjJIwczGmL5LGZJsss

Next, tune in for an interview Sekhmet did with Jen, a young New York City dyke who is in recovery from alcohol addiction. Finally, WLRN's April Neault closes out the program with her stellar commentary on addiction and substance use both from a personal perspective and from the perspective of her work at a local women's shelter in her community.
