Dive in to a refreshing newly inspired podcast as we collectively move forward into the new year! 

First up, hear Cat Bradfield deliver the world news with a variety of stories from China, Iran, Brazil and other countries that demonstrate the systematic discrimination women face everywhere in all walks of life.

Next, WLRN member Lola Bessis takes the reigns this month offering up an interview she did with Cynthia Enloe about "feminist curiosity" and how to stay alert and active as we monitor and work to end male violence. 

Lola delivers riveting commentary after the interview to complete this show focused on waking women up and taking ourselves seriously as political actors instead of pawns in men's games.  

Thanks to the team at WLRN for their years of service to our feminist movement WLRN will celebrate ten years of being in your ears this year. Carry on! 

Below, find Margaret's artist's statement about the artwork she designed for today's edition. 

"For WLRN’s Edition 117 which focuses on Feminist Curiosity, I created the background by layering symbols of airplanes flying around the world - to suggest the global aspect of the issues.
Over that, I used a detail of a surrealist oil painting known as ’The Call’ (La llamada) by the Spanish-Mexican artist Remedios Varo. In her painting, there is a woman in the center with hair flowing up from her head like a flame. That woman has a curious demeanor - she is meant to represent someone awakening to truths. There are other women around her who seem more like they are blending into the sides of a cave like room. Some of them have their eyes open and some don’t.
Mixed together, the plane shapes become more like birds in relation to the women, or arrows. Grouped together they are like obstacles to overcome, to get past, to be able to see more clearly - what is going on."
