In celebration of International Women\u2019s Rights Day, Greenpeace Canada is proud to highlight the womxn powering this house! Each day, they will share their perspectives on their roles and experiences as women in the environmental movement!<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n

A few years ago, I discovered the wonderful medium of podcasting. It was around the same time that I started taking an interest in climate change, gender inequality, racial discrimination, gender issues… Basically, the ills of our societies, their causes, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 how to deconstruct them (No small task!). Suffice it to say, it was like a revelation for me. What I discovered went beyond just words. It was discourse \u2014 mostly womxn\u2019s \u2014 that reached me<\/em>, in my living room, on public transport, and in my conversations with friends. Words that completely changed my way of thinking. You may have heard the old Latin proverb: \u201cspoken words fly away, written words remain.\u201d Well, not so true in my case. What I heard still resonates, and has shaped me into who I am today. So I hope, with this list of podcast recommendations, you\u2019ll find something that resonates with you too!<\/p>\n\n

Without further ado, here are six podcasts to fuel your thoughts, answer your questions, and spark new ones<\/strong>. They\u2019re all made by womxn, but for all those who strive for a fairer society<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

For another look at political news: Sandy and Norah talk politics<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (EN)<\/h4>\n\n

Listening to Sandy<\/a> and Norah<\/a> deciphering politics is a bit like a discussion between friends: putting political news in the spotlight, turning the subject at hand on its head, and above all, ALWAYS learning something. As a listener, I get to hear a greater diversity of voices talking politics than if I were to tune in to the average radio or TV show, where the majority of hosts are white men between the ages of 30 and 60. I\u2019m not going to lie \u2014 in those shows, there aren\u2019t a wide range of opinions offered. I hear myself more in the nuances brought by the two hosts, and their expertise gives me a deeper understanding of Canadian political news. <\/p>\n\n
