Welcome to WLRN's 50th edition podcast! First up, hear WLRN's April Neault greet listeners from her natural setting in Canada, then hear the world news written and delivered by Dana Vitalosova followed by the song Far Away by Eivor. Next, stay tuned for excerpts from an interview Thistle did with Vaishnavi Sundar, feminist film maker and social analyst from India before enjoying the song Heal Me by Melissa Ethridge. After that, hear an interview with Diane Fischer, MichFest and Ohio Lesbian Festival sister who spoke with Thistle about her practice of massage therapy and how the pandemic has impacted her business and the lives of her colleagues and womyn's community in Ohio. Finally, don't miss Sekhmet SheOwl's commentary on how the pandemic is impacting women economically and socially during this time, and her message of solidarity and hope for women to begin to come out of isolation with a greater appreciation for our feminist community and how much we need to see each other in person. At the very end of the show, Sekhmet delivers WLRN's message of solidarity and support for the families and friends who have lost loved ones to police brutality in the last few weeks. We stand in support of justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Arbory. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter Thank you for staying tuned to feminist community powered radio.
