Introducing TFB’s Radio Show/Podcast
Well, I did it. I bit the bullet and signed up on Blog Talk Radio to host my very own weekly show. It’s something I’ve been daring myself to do for a long time, I just never felt like I had it in me until now. After mentioning it to my readers/fans/followers, and to the Hyphenated Husband, I got enough support and encouragement to feel like it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. I decided this would be a super cool way to interview some really interesting women and men, increase my readership, and further explore Feminist Mothering issues. Hyphenated Husband also offered to co-host once a month with me to talk about Feminist Fathering issues, which I think is a super, duper cool idea.
This Sunday, January 10th, at 10 pm CST my show sails its maiden voyage. This one will be an introduction to the show, a history of my blog, and some background on Yours Truly. Hyphenated Husband will also be joining me to help fill in some background on me, and introduce himself as the resident Feminist Father. Your assignment is to leave questions for me here that you’d like me to answer for you on the air this Sunday. The best part about the Blog Talk Radio service I’m using is that I can take callers, so please, feel free to call in and chat!
Hope to hear from you! Also, coming up January 17th is my show called “Breastfeeding Broads” and I’m looking for a feminist breastfeeding advocate or two to call in and talk to me about how breastfeeding is a feminist issue. Please let me know if you’re interested!

Here's a question – to what extent do you think your parenting choices are "alternative"? I get that breastfeeding, vbacs, etc, are considered controversial to some extent (although I'll never understand why) but I'm curious to what extent things like babywearing and/or cosleeping can be considered an alternative lifestyle, and what else you do (or don't do, or think about doing, etc) would be considered outside or straddling the border of the "norm." (And then we could continue to say who decides what's the norm, who benefits from enforcing the status quo, what are the mechanisms by which people are punished for stepping outside the boundary of what's acceptable, etc, but I have a feeling that would be a 100 page thesis 
)

Here's a question for you: How do you think that being the mother of boys impacts your feminism, or does it? Now that I have a daughter and a son I'm always interested in how the gender of someone's children does or does not affect the way they view gender relations and feminism.

@starrymom Yep! I did that. It takes about 2 weeks to be approved and added so I’m just waiting now.

I’m really excited about your podcast! Although that is way past my bedtime, I may be able to stay awake for it. Who am I kidding… I’ll most likely be up with the baby then and can stick ear phones on.
