New World Notes - What Does Woman Want?

03/11/2014 12:00 pm

This week on New World Notes: radio program #314, March 11, 2014, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst celebrates International Women's Day (March 8).

You will hear an "encore performance" (that is, a rerun) of portions of an installment from 2009. It features a brief but shrewd and funny speech by Dr. Joycelyn Elders on human sexuality, women's health, women's rights, and warped national priorities.

Elders was Surgeon General of the United States (1993-1994). President Clinton fired her for her vocal advocacy of liberal and sane public-health policies. (She opposed both "abstinence-based sex education" and the Drug War.)

Plus a monologue by K.D., a relevant song by The Foremen, and part of another by James McMurtry.

Listener Advisory: Contains adult themes and language.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "oppressive yoke") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.

WHUS 91.7 (Storrs, CT) has changed its program schedule. The station now broadcasts New World Notes on Fridays at 10:30 AM. See the complete schedule.

New World Notes reaches California. The show is now carried by nonprofit, community-supported station WGIG-FM 104.9 in Modesto. Broadcast days and times vary.

You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both A-Infos Radio Project and (from #90 onwards) the Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chronological listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page; each page has links to the recorded audio; and a handy table of contents will quickly find the installment you want.

Series overview: Political and social commentary in a variety of genres. Exploring the gap between what we want--and what they're trying to make us settle for.
