A Youth Abused
with guests Jeannie Kerrigan and The Nerissa Campbell Band
Jeannie Kerrigan
Join Sex and Politics Fridays as we speak to author Jeannie Kerrigan about her traumatic childhood and what she's doing now to help give runaways hope. Her recently published book, LAYLA, chronicles her history of unfathomable abuse and her path to awakening and healing. Kerrigan's non-profit, Ricky's Revolution, is a national outreach program developed to help runaway and homeless youth, victims of domestic violence, and victims of sexual abuse reach a place of safety as quickly as possible. Learn more about the program here: http://rickysrevenge.org/

Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue
Sara Cross
Join Sex and Politics as we explore the efficacy of dog-saves. Does it really make sense to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on saving a few stray dogs, when people across the U.S. are jobless, homeless, and can't afford health care? Sara Cross, founder of the Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, has more than a few things to say about this. Whether you love dogs or hate 'em, this is an interesting commentary on the social fabric and values of America.

Listen in to Honey Spine. These guys rocked the house for the entire show. Thanks everyone for being a part of an hour and a half of gorgeous entertainment!



Honey Spine is comprised of two individuals based in Western New York who have been making their own noise for a number of years. In January, their ventures and musings found them intertwined in a musical duo, looking for nothing but the soul, expression of the self, and their own interpretation of art.

LIVE - The coming DSM V edits


Pharmaceutical companies are about to start raining pills down upon our children. The DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual), the holy bible of the behavioral sciences, is about to undergo changes to its core so resounding and dramatic, that psychiatrists will be able to proscribe meds, especially anti-psychotic meds, in such a widening scope of cases, that alarm bells are being rung loudly.

Drs. Brent Dean Robbins, Jacqueline Simon Gunn, and Kyle Arnold will tell Sex and Politics Radio, just what we have to look forward to when these changes occur.

Guest Duane Howard
