Post-International Women's Day Programming

Today at CJAM, the Women's Radio Collective is broadcasting a whole afternoon of special programming until 6pm as organized by Collective head Hilda Coker who is also personally contributing. Beginning at noon with a half hour spoken-word slot, Nicole Markham and Rachel Pipitone will be examining "What is Feminism"?

I see feminism as the means by which we can combat patriarchy. Patriarchy rules the world, but the reality of patriarchy is that it doesn't serve anyone. It doesn't serve women and it doesn't serve men. I think that the male sensibility can be unstable on its own without the counterbalancing of feminine sensibility, [and] I see feminism as an alternative to that. We're not talking about matriarchy, we're talking about a dynamic interplay between the sexes that informs all levels of society and is truly the answer to things like war"

-Ani DiFranco

Hope you stay tuned for more, including the original musical stylings of Lama Alsafi. For a full schedule of programming visit the CJAM website where you can also download and also vote for the upcoming Jammy Awards! Thankfully we are able to be on the air today with the reassurance that CJAM is going to stay alive by switching to 99.1FM in the near future - many thanks to those who wrote in to the CRTC and supported us!

It is a pleasure for the Collective to air this special programming in the wake of last week's very successful Smash the Glass festival put on by Sonia Nizzer and Cristina Naccarato. A lot of gratitude is owed to them and to those who came out to support!

The Women's Collective & Smash the Glass 09

Smash the Glass is an annual music festival in Windsor that celebrates and puts the focus on female talent! Come out and support female musicians for one night of indie at Phog Lounge on the 26th and one night of punk and hardcore at the Chubby Pickle on the 27th! BOTH SHOWS START AT 7PM SO ARRIVE EARLY! CJAM Women's Radio Collective members Cristina Naccarato and Sonia Nizzer are the organizers and other members of the collective are also a part of the festival. (Nicole Markham of the Washing Machine makes up The Floral Prints with Jessica O'Neil - come see their indie folk stylings at 8:30pm on Thursday!) Don't miss the chance to enjoy and encourage women in music, most of whom are local acts! Proceeds go to charity so it is a win-win for all. For more, visit Cristina's post on her blog Wake-Up-Grrl.
