Robin hosts a special Women's Media Awards show with award recipients Pat Mitchell and Sarah Hoye; and Women's Media Center President Julie Burton. Anu Bhagwati of SWAN—Service Women’s Action Network—praises women vets in honor of Veteran's Day. Plus Robin comments on the election outcome's historic wins for women and its "delicious bad-guy losses," and on language so fashionable it's viral.

With her Manhattan studio offline after the historic Hurricane Sandy, Robin ventures into the storm-battered streets of NYC in search of power and the Internet to host a very special and somewhat irregular pre-election show—and the result is her Letter from Ground Zero #4. Guests include pollster Celinda Lake on the women’s vote; University of Arizona College Republicans VP Zoey Kotzambasis on being a Republican for abortion rights and marriage equality; and Congresswoman Maxine Waters on voter suppression and the ground game.

Robin takes on willful ignorance, and speaks with "Sex and World Peace" author Valerie Hudson; and sexploitation survivor Rachel Lloyd. Journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault talks about her career and the state of the world; members of Ingoma Nshya, a women's drumming troupe formed by Rwandan genocide survivors, plays; and Dr. Marianne Legato explains the new science of gender-specific medicine.

Robin spotlights the courage of international teen girl activists, the failed promise of the once-novel idea of 24-hour cable news, and the history and impact of the word "ms." Guests are Maysoun Odeh, founder of the first women's FM radio station in Palestine; Aishah Shahidah Simmons on her "NO! The Rape Documentary," and on the life and legacy of Audre Lorde; Ellie Smeal on the 40th anniversary of Ms. Magazine; and Kathleen Turner on playing the late wit, Molly Ivins, in Red Hot Patriots.

Robin hosts a special show on sex trafficking, and speaks with Jessica Neuwirth of Equality Now; Ruchira Gupta, an activist who rescues girls in India; and Kathleen Barry, author of Female Sexual Slavery and the UN Convention on Traffick. An extended "Fighting Words" features Robin's satirical "modest proposal" to resolve the problem of sex trafficking, once and for all.

Robin examines the true history and legacy of Columbus Day, fact-checks the notion of "The End of Men," and speaks with Adora Svitak about the Girls' State of the Union; Paula DiPerna on Mrs. Columbus; Muscogee Creek poet Joy Harjo; and Cherokee economist Rebecca Adamson.

Robin explains why WMC Live’s move to a new day and time on CBS is a homecoming to a previous life and career, and speaks with columnist Connie Schultz about Ohio as the front line of fair voting; California Representative Barbara Lee on the Congressional Black Caucus and women; and actress, activist, author, and Women's Media Center co-founder Jane Fonda on sex, intimacy, age, health—and furnishings.

Egyptian-American journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested yesterday for allegedly defacing a controversial ad in a Times Square subway station. During her last interview prior to her arrest, she spoke passionately with Robin about anti-Muslim sentiment and the fight for justice and freedom.

(The show aired on Sunday, September 23, 2012. We are now making available Mona's interview as a stand-alone download.)

Robin discusses the Mars Curiosity rover and gender in space, and speaks with Patti Chang of the Feed the Hunger Foundation on the topic of philanthropy for women; Shelby Knox, young feminist organizer, on the topics of online organizing and media myths on young feminism and women's equality; and Mona Eltahawy, Egyptian-American journalist and women's rights advocate, on sexual harassment in Egypt and attempts by far-right political actors in both Egypt and the so-called "West" to manipulate the "Arab Spring" revolutions for their own extreme agendas.

Robin discusses myths and spin from the right on why unions must be destroyed and why teachers are the enemy, and speaks with Ellen Snortland, women's and girls' self-defense advocate and author of the book Beauty Bites Beast; Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago teachers' union whose members will vote today on whether to end their strike; Lynn Povich, author of Good Girls Revolt, a former senior editor at Newsweek and one of the women who successfully sued Newsweek for gender discrimination in the 70s; and Gloria Feldt, women's leadership speaker, author of No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power, and the former head of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
