Blog that rocks: Adamant Eve

A painting of "Eve"... an adamant woman on the loose?!I got an email yesterday from a woman that's part of a feminist media collective (yes! we need more of these, right?!) at Edmonton's community radio station, CJSR 88.5 FM. The collective runs a Feminist News Radio program called "Adamant Eve" (love the name!) every Friday and kindly asked if they could read my commentary on empowerment, "Sorry Can't Do Raunch Today" on yesterday's show! (Of course, I said yes!) I'm also going to be interviewed for the show in a couple weeks, so I'll keep you posted about that. I'll be talking about young women and feminism (naturally!) , so it should be an exciting conversation!
The collective recently launched a blog that covers all the topics discussed on the program each week, as well as links to podcasts of the shows. Awesome! Check out their blog for some interesting stories on emergency contraception, rape culture, orgasms, and Twilight. I'm also looking forward to checking out the July 31st show, in which they featured youth talking about feminism! This is especially cool for Canadians because they seem to focus on lots of local and national feminist content, which we're lacking up here! (I feel like a lot of Canadian feminists have to rely on US feminist media, which rarely covers issues specific to Canada.)
For those non-Edmonton dwellers (like me!), you can also listen to the show online here! Enjoy!
