Another break from our usual programming! Rather than feature a guest, this episode includes Gina & Raph discussing the pride picnic held in Hendersonville, some voter information and a recent story regarding one Henderson County commissioners attempt to pull funding from the Flat Rock Playhouse.

In this very special episode Gina and Raph are interviewed by a new progressive podcast in WNC: Rednecks Rising: The Secret History of Progressive Revolution in Appalachia! From personal backgrounds and history to on going work and the state of the revolution in Appalachia. A big thank you to our friend Chelsea White in Haywood County for her ongoing and valuable work!

Today's special episode features stories from women who wrote into the podcast with their own experiences with abortions.  One in four women will have an abortion in their lifetime, which means SOMEONE YOU LOVE will need this right. We will not go back. Donate to the Carolina Abortion Fund and get your friends to vote.
