This month’s edition focuses on a feminist perspective of death. Death, another natural reality patriarchy views as an obstacle to overcome. How ironic that the necromancy that is patriarchy should be so obsessed with eternal life.
WLRN member Aurora greets us into the edition, where we also hear from the 11th Hour Blog’s Jennifer Bilek in her monthly special report on the intersection of transgenderism, capitalism, technology and transhumanism; This month she talks about the significance of Dave Chapelle’s comments in his recent comedy special.
After our world news headlines from Emilianne Lorenzen, Eva Cassidy’s song Autumn Leaves plays, and we’re led into April Neault’s interview with death doula and Religion and Cultures professor Dr. Susan Srigley. In the interview, Susan talks about her experiences as an end-of-life companion and about society’s fearsome attitude towards death - a process as natural, though far less celebrated, as birth.
From the interview we close out Edition 67 with Sekhmet She-owl’s commentary about living your best life, and making the most of your time when you know it’s limited.
Our handcrafted podcasts come out the first Thursday of the month, every month. Next month we focus on women’s intentional communities. Thanks for staying tuned!
