Discovery

I’m a long time listener and was disappointed with the interstitial after Jenice’s story. She used humor to tell a story about resisting oppression and the collective agony that women experience as a result of our reproductive rights being denied. The interstitial struck a goofy tone that felt clunky and disrespectful. Taking Jenice’s words out of context and stripping them of their meaning for a laugh–so typical of the way the culture reacts to women’s trauma. I question whether if the story had been about a different social justice issue, you would have (rightly) made a different editorial choice. Imagine how better this world would be if we could take it to heart when women share their stories instead of laughing at them. These topics are sensitive and deserve to be treated with more consideration.
