Sanctuary by Karen EastIn the middle of the twenty-first century, the War on Terror has been going on for decades. Major corporations control both the government and the economy, and the resulting relaxation of environmental laws has caused pollution to go unchecked. All borders of the United States have been closed, and travel outside one's neighborhood is often viewed with suspicion. The Department of Homeland Security controls the media, written history, education, and individual freedoms.Thirty-year-old Janet Ryan works as a reporter for the Minneapolis Herald, where she writes stories that have been prepared for her by Homeland Security. Her parents reach the age for mandatory placement in a nursing home, and they escape the country to avoid the confinement. Then Janet runs into a childhood friend who introduces her to a group of people skeptical about the government's restrictions and the loss of freedom. Janet has the chance to travel to northern Wisconsin to meet with an elderly woman who sought asylum on an Ojibwe reservation. There she encounters people who live happily without technology or competition. But what will happen when her visits—which are illegal—are discovered?Set in a future where a powerful corporate government strictly controls personal freedoms, this novel follows one woman as she learns of a different way to live.Karen East is retired from the practice of marriage and family therapy. She worked with American Indian tribes in the Midwest for nineteen years. She has two children, a grandson, and four great-granddaughters and lives in northern Wisconsin.https://www.amazon.com/Sanctuary-Karen-East/dp/1480884782https://kareneastbooks.com/https://mainspringbooks.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/3223mb2.mp3

See More on her company https://www.spectraspray.com/ CHECK OUT THE ACADEMY: https://clicksandbricksacademy.com/ Sponsor:  https://mygosite.com/ About Janet Ryan: Janet's mother, Gloria, had early onset Alzheimer's and passed away at only age 69 in 1997. Her journey was heartbreaking and robbed her of many rich, fruitful years never lived. At the time in the late 1990's, there was very little research on Functional medicine and nutrition. She was determined to not see that happen in her own life, in her sister's or in her twins, who Gloria was never blessed to meet. So the mission began. Reading, learning, meeting doctors, pharmacists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, neurologists, rheumatologists and life coaches to understand more about genetics, the aging process, and what we can actually do about it. She has been following all the research and nutritional support for  more than 20 years, and understands the role proper diet, targeted supplementation and environmental factors (epigenetics) can play in brain health. Without proper levels of Vitamin D, healthy fats, proper detoxification, absorption of B vitamins, antioxidants, fulfillment, reduced stress and good sleep, the body cannot stay healthy and begins to slowly ‘die'.

“Lesbians weren’t ok in the feminist movement. And then lesbians became ok in the feminist movement but then lesbian feminists didn’t want S&M lesbians or dykes to be apart of their feminist movement. So, we get accepted and then we discriminate against somebody else behind us.” - Sarah Humble For episode 19 we talked to Sarah Humble, co-founder of the Women’s Leather History Program at the Leather Archives and Museum, about her interview with renowned leather community photographer Janet Ryan and her Differently Pleasured photography show of S&M culture. We also discuss the hanky system, feminist sex wars, and S&M lesbians in the lesbian feminist movement. Look out for our next episode where we talk to Selly Thiam, founder and executive-director of None on Record, a digital media organization that works with African LGBT communities across the African continent and the diaspora.

“We want to archive and collect stories on our own terms. A big part of documenting the history is documenting the history for us, by us. And that’s the big seed of everything, everything starts from the story. Everything starts from these interviews and relationships with these elders and the intergenerational connections.” - Indee Mitchell For episode 18 we talked to Bonnie Gabel and Indee Mitchell about their project Last Call: New Orleans Dyke Bar History Project. This project creates a digital archive of queer oral history, hosts a podcast series and tutorials and puts on live performances and events in service of these projects.

Murphy's Saloon #4 Show Notes: • Almost Heaven by Tommy Z. Tommy infuses his songs with a mix of jazz, R&B, rock and funk, tinged with spirituality. His latest CD, Universal Love, was produced by Nick Blagona (Bee Gees, Nazareth, Moody Blues, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Police, Chicago) He also appears on a recently released solo album Gillan's Inn by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Tommy's personal Web site (where you can buy his CD) is here. • Talk Is Cheap by The Shades of Gray. The Shades of Gray are four young guys out of Salt Lake City who've been playing together for 2 years. They list Herbie Hancock, the Allman Bros. and Jimi Hendrix as influences. The band's site is here. • Your Heart by Anne Heaton. Heaton has been based out of New York in recent years, but is considering a move back to Chicago, her home town. She was an opening act on Jewel's Spring 2005 tour, and lists Fine Young Cannibals, Peter Gabriel, Tom Petty, 10,000 Maniacs and the Indigo Girls as influences. Heaton's debut album, Black Notebook, was chosen by Performing Songwriter magazine as one of its Top 12 Independent Releases. All three of her independent release are available at her site. • Take Your Shoes Off by Janet Ryan and Straight Up!. As Murphy's Saloon listeners may remember, I found Janet Ryan and Straight Up! over at GarageBand.com. This is their second appearance at Murphy's Saloon. After I played them the first time, they added my logo and a link to Murphy's Saloon at their site. Thanks, guys! • Three Chords by (The Rev.) Jimmie Bratcher. Bratcher is another return visitor to Murphy's Saloon. Although he sorta downplays the fact he's a Rev., Bratcher uses music to help reach people, and it's absolutely killer blues. His personal site is here. • Church of the Electric Soul by the Robert Farrell Farrell, a resident of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has been playing guitar since he was five years old (he's now in his 30s), and has been described by Billboard Magazine as "arguably the greatest undiscovered guitarist in Canada." Among his kudos, Farrell's got three New Artist Radio (N.A.R.) Awards: for "Musician of the Year" (2002 and 2003) and "Male Rock Artist of the Year" (2002). I'd suggest visiting his site and doing your part (by buying his CDs) to lift the public profile of this superlative guitarist. • And, as usual, the Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast.

This episode was a solo project, with considerable material and moral support from several sources (Greg, you're a mensch!). Big thanks to the Podsafe Music Network, GarageBand and the artists. Show Notes: • Show intro from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, whose CD is available through their site, CD Baby or Tower Records. • 99 Pounds by P.W. Fenton and The Second Ward. Although they're no longer playing together, present evidence argues that P.W. Fenton and The Second Ward put on one hell of a show in their day. Today, among other things, Fenton is the host and chief instigator of his own podcast, Digital Flotsam. • Missing You by Blue Matters. Blue Matters are a group of German and Swiss students who met in school in Venezuala. Missing Youhas a nice, smooth R&B groove going for it. I think it deserves better than the two-and-a-half star rating it presently has at the Podsafe Music Network. • Cool Your Engine by Janet Ryan and Straight Up!. I found Janet Ryan and Straight Up! over at GarageBand.com and was knocked out immediately by Janet's voice and the band's smooth, tight groove. You can expect to hear more of them at Murphy's Saloon. Because GarageBand.com has their own method of doing what they call podcasts, and their own way of putting podcasters and artists together, I wrote to Janet and the band directly and they very quickly granted me permission to play their music. Thanks! • Bad Religion by (The Rev.) Jimmie Bratcher. As he reports at his personal Web site, Rev. Bratcher found his way to God after considerable personal turmoil. But, like the Rev. Al Green and Little Richard, Bratcher uses music to help spread the Gospel, and it's smokin' great music at that. This one rocks! • Show outro from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast.
