Wednesday Breakfast

00:15 - We’re going to hear “Fat Bodies, Healthy Lives” the special feature about healthy living in everybody size. West Australian community broadcaster Rebecca Bowman pushes back on the singular, outdated and flat out bogus notion that slim equals healthy - I can’t wait for that one!00:30 - Next up, Beth Matthews from 3CR’s Radical Philosophy programme speaks to Associate Professor Elizabeth Finneron-Burns about the possibilities for, and ethics of, human extinction.00:45 - We’ll be hearing a full-length interview with Dana Sussman, Deputy Executive Director at the National Advocates for Pregnant Women in the United States. Dana served for six years as Deputy Commissioner of Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs at the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the agency charged with enforcing one of the most comprehensive anti-discrimination laws in the country. I spoke to Dana about one case, in particular, the case of Brittney Poolaw, an indigenous woman from the US who in November was convicted of manslaughter after experiencing a miscarriage. Dana is working to support Brittney, as is the whole team at the NAPW. Please note this interview touches on pregnancy loss.
