WMC Live #404: Rethinking Thinking. (Original Airdate: 3/26/2023)

Robin is leveled by COVID but muddles through hilariously. Special Guest: Feminist art historian and critic Lucy Lippard. New feature: Poetry Corner!

Season Premiere! Robin celebrates it by debuting her new book of poems just out, her eighth collection: Harvesting Darkness. After going Inside the Headlines, she shares some powerful, deeply moving poems from the book, in a special reading.

Season Finale! Robin focuses this episode—like last week’s—on the Women's Media Center staff and brilliant mission. Today: women in conflict situations, expert speakers' database, features, media training—and a peek into ambitious future plans!

Robin devotes this episode—and next week’s—to conversations with the Women's Media Center staff: how their diverse desks model a true free media. Today: Young Feminists, Entertainment, Climate, and the Research Reports that have become so famous.

Robin explores how major museums still fail women artists, and why New York has become a center for Indigenous people. Guest: Larissa FastHorse, first Native American woman playwright ever to have a play on Broadway.

Robin takes on the headlines themselves, including the latest Catholic Church shockers. Special Guest: Laura Bates, author and founder of Everyday Sexism, on the results of this remarkable campaign.

Robin puts the E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald Trump case into crucially important context. Special Guest: Soraya Chemaly, author, activist, co-founder of the WMC Speech Project, and expert on technology, digital media, and sexism.

Robin messes with Texas, and her special guest is Cherry Smiley, an activist on prostitution and trafficking of women, and author of Not Sacred, Not Squaws: Indigenous Feminism Defined—which breaks new ground.

Robin on the firings of Fox News' Tucker Carlson and CNN’s Don Lemon, and on youth activism. Special Guest: Maria Teresa Kumar, founding President/CEO of Voto Latino.
