This week Live Wire celebrates Women's History Month! Comedian Jamie Loftus unpacks her podcast Aack Cast, which unpacks how the “Cathy” comic strip is still relevant to feminist struggles today; writer and mountaineer Silvia Vasquez-Lavado reveals how she became the first openly gay woman to climb “The Seven Summits” while overcoming addiction and childhood trauma; and feminist icon and activist Ani DiFranco discusses starting her own record label when she was just 19-years-old, before performing “Simultaneously” from her latest album “Revolutionary Love.” Plus, host Luke Burbank and announcer Elena Passarello shout out some unsung heroes from Women's History.
