Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Milk & Vodka playlist, November 9th 2009 - Ladies of Folk edition

Today's show is inspired by a book written by Shiela Weller entitled Girls Like Us. It's a triple biography that follows the fascinating lives and careers of Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, and Carole King whose music defined an entire generation, and still influences artists today.
Although Weller focuses on these three women specifically, there are many mentions of other female folk musicians from this period as well, which I've done my best to include for this week's program. Happy listening!
