Name: Shorts: Double Blasted by Radiolab
Duration: 19 min 28 s
Description: In early August of 1945, Tsutomu Yamaguchi had a run of the worst luck imaginable. A double blast of radiation left his future, and the future of his descendants, in doubt. In this short: an utterly amazing survival story that spans ... well, 4 billion years when you get down to it.

Miguel, Gloria et Rachel ont bien connu les déboires de l’administration française. Obtenir ses papiers, qu’on vienne du Mexique ou du Cameroun, amène à devoir vivre l’expérience de la préfecture - pour ne pas dire le cauchemar de la préfecture. Visa temporaire, permis de travail à renouveler, récépissé, file d’attente, confrontation avec les agents, incohérences bureaucratiques… Ils ont fini par renoncer. Mais est-ce mieux au Canada et particulièrement à Vancouver ou Winnipeg ? Il faut y aller pour le savoir.

La route de l'Eldorado
Ils et elles ont quitté leur pays pour la France avant de choisir de s’installer au Canada. Ils et elles nous racontent la France, son accueil, ses opportunités, mais aussi ses blocages. Après leur expérience française ils ont finalement atterri à Montréal, Ottawa ou Vancouver, où Halima Elkhatabi les a rencontrés. Après la Route du Bled, Halima Elkhatabi tisse avec finesse onze récits qui racontent un double exil avec émotion et lucidité. Une coproduction ARTE Radio - Radio Canada qui permet de passionnants regards croisés sur la France et la Canada.

La route de l'Eldorado (2/5) : Les 12 travaux de l’immigration

Nicole, 63 ans, est une des rares femmes pêcheuse de crevettes à Dunkerque. Ancienne ouvrière du textile et mère de six enfants, elle trouve dans cette pratique réservée aux hommes une échappatoire, un moment de paix. L'eau soigne son corps abîmé par le travail en usine, les maternités et le travail domestique. Nicole est aussi championne du monde de décorticage de crevettes ! Elle raconte qu'elle a pu gagner 10 fois ce concours grâce au travail en usine, qui lui a fait exercer sa rapidité et sa dextérité. Les médias soudain parlent d'elle. Nicole se voit reconnue hors du cercle domestique. Une récompense ? Une revanche ? Un plaisir ?
Au-delà de l'image folklorique de la pêche à la crevette, cet épisode d'Un podcast à soi / Une vie à soi interroge le rapport au temps, au travail domestique, à la reconnaissance. Et donne à entendre des résistances invisibles.

Une vie à soi : Nicole | Un podcast à soi (37)

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works about women who defy the status quo and might therefore be perceived as “dangerous.”  In Margaret Atwood’s “Unpopular Gals,” fairy-tale archetypes reclaim their power. The reader is Ann Harada.  A boisterous and brilliant student threatens to upend the order of her high school in Shanteka Sigers’ “A Way with Bea,” performed by Pascale Armand.  And a Victorian-era wife fights for her sanity in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s classic “The Yellow Wallpaper,” performed by Carrie Coon.  The show also includes commentary by the Egyptian-American journalist and activist Mona Eltahawy.

Season 13 – Episode 34

No Angel

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.
