Ep 1 A'Ja & Esmée talk Genspect, Race, Gender Identity

Hey-so, here’s our first real episode!! I have stitched it together in the ways one does, and two things have become clear to me:
1) I need more practice at editing podcasts, and 2) I talk too much. Not in the ‘I’m a woman and I feel I talk too much’ way (please, have we met?), but in the ‘I have learning to do about Hosting As A Craft' way.
Still, this was fun and A’Ja and I brought a lot of expertise and humor to this conversation.

On Sexual Offenses and incarceration, here’s a summary. 
Dates and numbers tend to be all over the place on this subject.
People in prisonIn 2021, there were 12,850 people in federal prison for child sex offenses. In addition, 15.5% of the prison population was sentenced for rape or sexual assault, according to The Sentencing Project. ⁠https://www.sentencingproject.org/policy-brief/responding-to-crimes-of-a-sexual-nature-what-we-really-want-is-no-more-victims/⁠ 
People on sex offender registriesIn 2017, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) estimated that there were over 850,000 registered sex offenders (RSOs) in the United States, according to the NIH. ⁠https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10038390/⁠ 
 

Gorgon Posse of Medusa Rising Trailer

Founder/Editor of ⁠Medusa Rising | World Building Women⁠, Esmée Streachailt, introduces the podcast's mission to deepen feminist movement. Medusa Rising aims to expand the radical materialist feminism established by The Radical Notion magazine into accessible digital formats. The podcast will cover feminist topics and promote intersectional collaboration and sisterhood. Team members will host episodes in their expertise or curiosities. Moving out of the patriarchal/dominance epoch into a matristic/partnership epoch will require improvisation and learning in public! Listeners will hear from diverse feminist voices on various subjects including embodied thriving, soul craft, politics, culture, and social movements in a RadMatFem perspective. The team embraces a slow, deliberate approach creating meaning more than content, and warmly invites contributions from the community.
