Mythbusting: Body Facts and Birth Control (Episode 132)

Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée take a look at a growing issue since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade this past June — a movement to make access to birth control the next to go. Sparked by a recent article from the UC Berkeley Human Rights Center, they look at the lack of information, purposeful disinformation, religious fervor, and social media efforts merging to form this latest threat to choices and autonomy. Wendy gives an apparently much-needed 101 on the menstrual cycle and reminds everyone about the importance of reproductive health. Robin reminds listeners to help guide those you know who may be going down a path of lies and incorrect info. VOTE to keep future bans at bay! Before the main topic discussion, Robin interviews Wendy in The Artscape about her current visual art and the upcoming shows where you can view and buy her work. She has been busy painting in watercolor and acrylics, drawing cats for greeting cards, and developing a signature style. Catch her upcoming art shows if you can (info below).
