We plan for various crises and disasters, making plans to prepare and respond to such things as terrorism, but what we often forget are those that have been impacted terrorism. In the most personally gripping and heartfelt episode I've ever done, I'm joined by terrorism survivor and victim advocate, Ann Travers. Ann talks about her experiences of growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and how it impacted - and still impacts - her today. 1. Defining terrorism, living in fear, The Troubles; ; 2. Ann's personal story of terrorism, the hurt, survival and lingering impacts; 3. Ann's Law, victim's rights, re-traumatization, and support. It's an episode that raises the question of why we prepare and respond to disasters, but we seem to fall short when it comes to caring for those living with the impacts of terrorism...or any disaster. Don't miss this episode! If you are a survivor of terrorism and want to talk to someone, you can find help at www.seff.org.uk Don't suffer alone!

Dr. Travers teaches us that from very early ages, some at two and three years old, trans children find themselves to be different from the sex category that was assigned to them at birth. How they make their voices heard—to their parents and friends, in schools, in public spaces, and through the courts—is the focus of today's conversation.
Most coffee shops sport a decor that is effusive with dark woods and low lighting, but not Sophomore Coffee in Baltimore, MD. Partners Kris Fulton and Ann Travers Fortune have created a natural light-filled spot with a brightly tiled counter out of what was once the dirty basement of a building that time forgot. On the morning I visited, the place was filled to the brim with regulars, which seems to be a regular thing already for this new shop, a business in community with two others in the Old Goucher neighborhood. It’s a novel way of building food businesses that recently got the attention of Bon Appetit, but Sophomore Coffee is much more than just that. It’s really good coffee, good people, and a great place to enjoy both.

Imagine being a boy forced to attend school dressed in a girls’ uniform. Imagine being a girl banned from the girls’ bathroom and too afraid to “go” in a stall surrounded by boys. Imagine being asked, again and again, by other kids, “Are you a boy or a girl?” Imagine having your deepest sense of…

Imagine being asked, again and again, by other kids, “Are you a boy or a girl?” Imagine having your deepest sense of self refuted by adults in authority. Imagine the routine stress of being a transgender kid.

"I shouldn't be down here at all, really. Driver, I am. See?" Yes, perhaps it would be better if you were absent, Evans. You certainly drive everyone up the wall. But the Welsh wimp is not the only peril in the London Underground in 1968's The Web of Fear. The slimmer-line Yeti now sling more web than Spidey, Professor Travers is now an old duffer cum Yeti whisperer, Harold Chorley is the obsequious and unacceptable face of the gutter press and somewhere a filthy traitor is at work... Luckily, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is at hand, with his ever-shrinking batallion, while Ann Travers proves adept at rebuffing both amorous advances and unwelcome interviews and, somehow, finds time to smile at a rampaging Yeti. Meanwhile, the Doctor is delighted by one of his balls, Jamie hides in a bin and Victoria drops an unidentified lanyarded object. So is the return of this once-lost story a cause for celebration or should it have been left in the cobwebs? Listen here to find out what Jim and Martin think.
