Barbara Ford, activist, therapist, facilitator, singer, and artist, will join us this Friday, March 15, for a discussion on deep ecology and her upcoming workshop, “Active Hope.” We’ll also discuss the exploitation of the earth and how it sets a framework for the exploitation of people, especially women.

Join the conversation by calling 503-231-8187 during the broadcast. You can also email us at positivelyrevolting at gmail dot com.

For the premier episode of KBOO's "Citizen's Sports Report," we will explore the social dynamics of women who play full contact sports.  Are certains sports "made" for one gender, but not the other?  Why do some see Roller Derby as a "woman's sport," and American Football seen as a "man's sport?" 

During this episode we take a trip to Oaks Park to attend a Rose City Roller Derby Bout.  We will hear what the players, fans, and one of co-founders have to say on this issue.  We also posed these questions to three players from the Portland Fighting Fillies, one of Portland's all female, semi-pro, full contact football teams.
