This Women’s History Month, listen to the women and girls with stories to tell about their unique experiences, from Ukrainian mothers, soldiers and wives in the throes of a now three year-long war to inspiring young leaders representing Native Hawaiian and African diaspora communities. Plus, four brand new episodes of STORIES FROM THE STAGE feature storytellers sharing the ups and downs of love with a side of laughter.
Girl Talk: A Local, USA Special
Set in the cutthroat, male-dominated world of high school debate, GIRL TALK tells the compelling story of five girls on the diverse, top-ranked Massachusetts team at Newton South. Often talked over, underrepresented and judged differently than their male counterparts, each girl learns to navigate gender biases, reminding us that equal rights and freedom of expression are worth fighting for.
Funny Business
Unexpected twists prove that the best plans often go off track. Carly strives for the perfect first impression, but a mishap forces her to rethink what it means to fit in; Adam’s job takes a wild turn, leading to a high-speed misadventure; and Rory jumps at stardom, only to realize that fame isn’t that glamorous. Three storytellers, three interpretations of FUNNY BUSINESS, hosted by Wes Hazard.
