Great podcast. Shuddered when I heard the statement "If we find a great candidate that is a white dude, should we no hire him." Not hiring that person because of the colour of their skin or sex is always the wrong answer no matter the cause. We need to approach diversity problems without becoming the people we are fighting against, the ones that judge people by sex and skin colour, the ones that don't hire people because of those factors.

Episode one of Tie My Tubes: A Radio Documentary series

Brie Ripley is a radio producer who has been struggling to obtain a simple procedure she has wanted since she was a teenager. But doctors have repeatedly refused, concerned she'll regret the decision later in life. In episode one of Tie My Tubes, Ripley takes us in and out of her experience attempting to get a doctor to agree to give her the sterilization procedure she wants. Along the way, she introduces us to mothers, doctors, professionals, and a white male gatekeeper to begin telling the story of sterilization.
