Listener Week on Woman's Hour is where we bring your stories, ideas and the issues you want to hear about to air.How much of the detail about your marriage or long-term relationship do you share with your best friends? One listener says her husband is unwilling to discuss any of their issues, or go to therapy, but that she feels she can't talk to friends honestly about their relationship either. To discuss, Kylie Pentelow is joined by psychotherapist Julia Samuel and Natasha Lunn, author of Conversations on Love, a bestselling book.Are library closures misogynistic? Woman's Hour listener Kirsten thinks so. She believes that libraries help women in a whole range of ways - from providing employment to toddler groups - and so closing them disproportionately affects them. She'll join Isobel Hunter, Chief Executive of Libraries Connected, to discuss. Over 70,000 babies each year require specialist care on a neonatal unit (NICU). Parents of these babies feel the impact on their mental health from time spent in NICU is overlooked. With one in seven babies spending time in NICU, listeners Lorna Tallowin and Lottie King contacted the programme to highlight the long-term impact on the families affected.Judith got in touch to share the benefits of intergenerational friendships and the difference they can make to our lives. Judith and Iona are best friends. She's 76 and Iona is 22. They join Kylie to discuss. Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Nathan Porter, a filmmaker from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, about his short film "Blue," which is a 22-minute film about grief that he wrote and directed. Nathan discussed his extensive experience making films, having created approximately 46 short films, including a period where he made one movie every week as a learning exercise. He explained that the film explores grief and identity through abstract imagery and a claustrophobic visual style, with particular focus on a six-minute single take scene that required extensive preparation and multiple takes to capture the emotional depth needed. Nathan revealed that the film was written as part of a larger artistic piece that he plans to expand into a feature-length road trip horror movie, demonstrating his commitment to transitioning from short films to longer projects. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Pritzker Military Library D Day Anthology.  

So, inspired by the recent Corbett Report exploration of the real fate of The Library of Alexandria and the subsequent report on how They Don't Want You To Read, you've decided to pick up a book? Great! Need a book suggestion for your foray into the wide world of books? Then you've come to the right place! Specifically, on this special edition of the #SolutionsWatch/IMA roundtable, the IMA panel (along with special guest Tim Lacy) recommend a slew of books to keep even the most inveterate reader busy for the foreseeable future. Happy reading!

This week, we're covering chapters 52 - 59, Falling off the Edge of the World - Island in the Sun, Chapters. Onto Colchis, we meet up with a familiar face... and then proceed to get a little lost in an old Mericanii archive.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Sandrine Lambert, a filmmaker from Belgium, about her one-minute animation film from the Under 5 Minute Film Festival. Sandrine explained how she wrote down memories daily and transformed them into short films, with this particular piece depicting her personal experience of discovering she wanted to be pregnant while her partner wasn't ready yet. She described creating the film entirely by herself, including drawing, voice-over, and piano music, investing 130 hours in the animation work over approximately one month of overtime work. Sandrine discussed her background in children's book illustration for over 25 years and her more recent discovery of stop-motion animation, preferring analog methods to maintain simplicity and avoid AI technology. The film, set in a bathroom, explores themes of isolation and personal decision-making, with Matthew suggesting potential for future sequels following her pregnancy journey. Sandrine mentioned she is currently working on an erotic film and expressed interest in future collaborations, particularly with sound designers and her son, who is studying animation. https://www.instagram.com/avondroodboeken/ —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

In the mid-1930s a group of New York Yiddishist intellectuals established the Central Jewish Library and Press Archive, whose collections became the nucleus of the YIVO Library when the Institute relocated from Vilna to New York in 1940. Over the succeeding decades, the Library grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to the dedication of its librarians and supporters. It emerged as a “collection of collections,” absorbing the extensive personal libraries of prominent Yiddish writers, scholars, and book collectors. Crucially, after 1945 the Library also recovered large portions of the Vilna YIVO's prewar holdings along with thousands of rabbinic works from Vilna's Strashun Library. Throughout its history, the YIVO Library has been a beehive of scholarship and bibliography, which has been fostered by such outstanding figures as Mendl Elkin and Dina Abramowicz. In this presentation, Zachary M. Baker will offer some personal reflections on the legacy that the YIVO Library's founders and builders have left behind.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Ryan Morris, the subject of the documentary "Food Is Everything" from the Documentary Film Festival. Ryan explained that the film explores how society doesn't have a food problem per se, but rather a relationship with food problem. She focuses on how food can be used to connect with oneself, nature, and others through cooking, gardening, and sharing meals. The film was originally developed as a proof-of-concept for Ryan's cookbook, with producers at Archivist Films finding director Julio to bring the project to life over three days of filming in Ryan's Florida home. The documentary follows Ryan's personal journey through her kitchen, garden, and community spaces, including scenes with her family making papaya tacos and a community potluck at the Swinton Community Growing Project in Delray Beach. Ryan, who works as an Ayurvedic chef and recipe developer, shared that the film has been well-received and is currently available on YouTube before entering additional film festivals. https://www.instagram.com/food_brilliance/?hl=en —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Marlon and Jake tackle the writers they have no interest in revisiting, asking when it's worth giving a beloved (or notorious) author another chance and when it's perfectly fine to walk away for good. Tune in as they debate literary canon, books that simply aren't for them, the difference between a difficult author and a difficult book, and why sometimes the most honest review is, "Nobody needs to go back to that" Subscribe to our River-herd digital newsletter and our print newspaper, The Eddy, for sneak peeks of our upcoming books, free giveaways, and exclusive content: https://sites.prh.com/the-eddy-newspaper.

By way of structured academia or outspoken social commentary, the work of Kimberlé Crenshaw can be found woven throughout the fabric of modern American sociopolitical discourse. Through establishing the concepts of intersectionality and critical race theory, Crenshaw helped lay a foundation for decades of discussion and activism around race and gender across the world. In her upcoming memoir Backtalker, Crenshaw recounts the personal journeys that shaped her as someone who champions taking notice and speaking up. With intimate and compelling storytelling, Crenshaw takes readers back to her roots as a little girl in Canton, Ohio, who saw and said things that others didn't. As the daughter of a strong-minded teacher and pathbreaking public servant and the sister of a protective, yet bullying older brother, she starts to talk back. When she is denied a role in the kindergarten school play. When she is escorted to the back door of a private club. When Anita Hill is exiled for testifying against Clarence Thomas. When OJ Simpson goes on trial. When Obama launched My Brother's Keeper, a movement focused on boys of color only. When the movement against police violence overlooks Black women. Crenshaw keeps talking back. From classroom to courtroom, as the years go by – with new context and critique, but always the same fervor for challenging the structures that were never built for her. Backtalker presents an immersive, defiant, and deeply personal portrayal of a life spent fighting to be heard. Evoking emotions and revelations with each instance, Crenshaw transports readers to the moments that not only shaped her, but motivated her to work towards reshaping the world. Combining insight, intention, and impact, Backtalker details the path Crenshaw carved to establish herself as a pioneering voice in American civil rights– and a force to be reckoned with. Kimberlé W. Crenshaw is a pioneering scholar and writer on civil rights, Black feminist legal theory, race, racism, and the law. She was a founder and has been a leader in the intellectual movement called Critical Race Theory and is also known for introducing and developing the concept of intersectionality. She is a Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, and the cofounder and Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum. Crenshaw writes regularly for The New Republic, The Nation, and Ms., hosts the podcast Intersectionality Matters!, and has appeared as a commentator on media outlets including MSNBC and NPR. Angela Rye is an award-winning host, lawyer, social justice advocate, and Principal/CEO of IMPACT Strategies. Rye is also the co-creator of State of the People, a coalition of 200 local and national organizations providing resources, education, empowerment, and relief to thousands of citizens. She is co-host of the award–winning podcast Native Land Pod and co-founder of Reasoned Choice Media. With more than two decades of experience in political strategy, coalition building, and advocacy, Rye previously served as Executive Director and General Counsel to the Congressional Black Caucus and as Senior Policy Advisor and Counsel for the House Homeland Security Committee.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Hasmik Chakhmakhchyan about the music video "Silence of My Soul," which featured music by Armenian composer Araxia Muhusharyan. Hasmik explained that the video aimed to depict the internal world and feelings of a person when they experience music alone, using minimalistic visual techniques with natural lighting in a single studio location. The two-month preparation process included storyboarding and careful attention to detail, with post-production taking additional months where both the director and musician reviewed every aspect of the final cut. Hasmik indicated they have worked on diverse projects, including documentaries and crossover opera, and while they are unsure about future music videos, they continue to create different types of content across various genres. https://www.instagram.com/amen_project/ —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.
