Episode #20
After a week off for the Labor Day Doc and Carlton return for a heavy discussion on the world September 11, 2001 created. The anniversary offers a time of reflection for where we were, where we have been, and what it all means. 25 years offers a lot for us to dwell on, and I hope for those who remember that day we hope it speaks to the feelings this anniversary elicits. We also remember the legacy of Gloria Steinem, and what the second wave of feminism accomplished for women in this nation. Hers was a life in full, and we hope y'all enjoy this perspective.
