Hot Flashes & Brain Frog
Menopause gets funny, furious, and deeply honest, sometimes all in the same sentence.<br /><br />Dr. Sally Chivers talks with poet and professor Susan Holbrook about <a href="https://chbooks.com/Books/S/Steamy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Steamy: A Menopause Symptomology</i></a>, her raucous feminist book organized not by chapters, but by symptoms. Hot flashes. Burning mouth syndrome. Bladder leaks. Brain fog. The things you Google at 3 a.m., but rarely speak out loud.<br /><br />The conversation brings comedy and compassion to fertility grief, gendered shame, and medical language. We swap stories about women’s health, fanning ourselves in too-hot meeting rooms, and the joy that comes from giving “fewer shits.” <br /><br />If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Is it just me?" or tried to understand friends, partners, colleagues, and family members, you'll be in good company here. <br /><br />Episode 18 also includes music by folk_acoustic via Pixabay<br /><br />Wrinkle Radio is a proud member of the <a href="https://www.amplifypodcastnetwork.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amplify Podcast Network</a>.

Outro music by Michael Shayne (via Artlist).

That's the limit!
What happens when care becomes too much? In this episode, Professor <b>Janna Klostermann</b> talks about her new book <a href="https://utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781487563950" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>At the Limits of Care</i></a>. She tells host Dr. <b>Sally Chivers</b> what she learned from women who’ve stepped back from care work. Find out what their exits reveal about the structures that shape our lives, especially as we grow old.<br /><br />We talk about why quitting care feels like failure, how seeing care as a moral calling can isolate women, and how setting boundaries could lead to better care for workers and recipients alike. This conversation will invite you to imagine care as a shared responsibility, not an endless obligation.<br /><br /><br />Episode includes music by Duce Williams, Jamison Dewlen and Michael Shayne via ArtList and Mareproduction (<a href="https://freesound.org/people/mareproduction/sounds/202921/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indie Fall</a>) and acoustic guitar interlude by graham_makes -- https://freesound.org/s/447527/ -- License: Attribution 4.0. <br />.<br /><br />Wrinkle Radio is a proud member of the <a href="https://www.amplifypodcastnetwork.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amplify Podcast Network</a>.

It All Threads Through
Cree social worker and scholar Deborah Young shows how the stories we tell about aging matter. She describes beading circles as sites for activism and community. By beading, her university students learn about authenticity and reciprocity, especially through storytelling. In conversation with host Dr. Sally Chivers, Deborah Young reflects on her extensive career working in university governance, civil service, political parties, and the classroom. As we talk about home, illness, and intergenerational survivorship, Deborah Young illustrates the wisdom that comes from emotion, a wisdom that she rightly wants to academia to welcome. Join us as we laugh and pause to trace the threads of trauma and joy that interlace the wrinkled fabric of her life and work.<br /><br />Wrinkle Radio is a proud member of the <a href="https://amplifypodcastnetwork.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amplify Podcast Network</a>.
