Hey grrrlies, in this episode we jump into the history of the Riot Grrrl movement, starting in Olympia in the early 90s as a backlash to the male-dominated Punk scene. We play some songs by some women in punk in the 70s who made this all possible: the Slits, X Ray Spex, and Patti Smith. Of course we delve into Kathleen Hanna (happy belated birthday!) and her projects which defined the movement: Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, and Julie Ruin. We get into some other first-gen Riot Grrrl acts, as well as some of my suggestions for some modern-day women and non-binary folks who deserve the title of Riot Grrrls just as much.
Love rock revolution girl style now!
Today I'm playing some things that have been on heavy rotation for me the past week: some songs I stole from my sibling's Instagram, some Rolling Stone recs, and some new releases.
Also, I did remember that term - UNRELIABLE NARRATOR. Yikes, this "English major" is feeling a bit fraudulent.
In this fill-in episode, Eva and Jasper are talking about what makes Vancouver's local indie music scene distinctive; upcoming live shows; podcasts; art; and how sometimes you just need to dance in the street to self-soothe.

The Pender Guy radio collective grew out of a wave of Chinese Canadian youth activism in the early 1970s, running their operations from Vancouver’s Chinatown. Airing on Vancouver Co-operative Radio (Co-op Radio), the show explored issues related to Chinese-Canadian identity, history, politics, and art through news reporting, interviews, humour, drama, and music. Produced entirely by volunteers, the Pender Guy offered a way for young Chinese Canadians to gain community media skills and counter mainstream media representation of Chinatown and Chinese Canadians. With the City of Vancouver Archives’ recent digitization of the audio tapes, these tapes are now accessible entirely online, becoming an oral history archive of a formative period of Asian Canadian history. Join us as members of the Pender Guy share their memories on the show and play some of their favourite segments from the tapes while the community activists who helped preserve and document the show share the importance of the Pender Guy archives to the community both locally and internationally.

“Inequality is not created equal,” the civil rights activist and scholar Kimberley Crenshaw once said. Experiences of racial inequality intersect at gender, class, and sexuality; and as such, these identity markers do not exist independently of each other, but rather inform each other. This intergenerational and multigenre panel of writers will share their insights and experiences of how their personal journeys as writers have influenced their craft and provided meaning on how and why they tell their stories.

CiTR’s Accessibility Collective poses a question: is there accessible and adaptable clothing and accessories for people with disabilities? Thanks to the interview with Taylor Bryom (founder of TAYLORHART.DESIGN clothing) and stories like Tommy Hilfiger, slowly and surely, it is!

Kristina Shelden is a Canadian singer, songwriter and performer of aboriginal descent based in Vancouver, BC. Her voice smolders in indie folk, jazzy, and soulful genres. Her voice and music has been described as honest, stripped-down, soulful, and moving.
Kristina started performing at an early age in choirs, musicals, and jazz bands. After putting herself through a year of basic musicianship in college, however, she suffered a c4/c5 spinal cord injury that threatened to end her advancing musical ambitions. But through hard work and determination, and despite her physical limitations, she is again performing at venues throughout the city, writing new music, and has joined the board of directors for the Vancouver Adapted Music Society.
As a self-taught songwriter, Kristina is hiring professional producer Harvey Small (Peach Pit, Sarah Jickling) to develop her first full length album, to be fully released by the end of 2019. This record will explore the emotional challenges of love and loss, all the while emoting through the social lens of living and working with a disability, and as a First Nations woman.

On CJLO 1690 AM, the accessibility collective has a show every second Friday called the Audio Penpals.

The second discussion is with Kara Fagnou, Director of Building Standards with the City of Saskatoon’s Engineering Department who talks about the building codes for accessibility in the city.
These two discussions will help the listeners to see that Access Day should be every day, not just on one day. Access should be for all and not just for some.

Part 1: Sounds from European Cities by Eleanor Wearing
Sounds from European cities, tourists, towns, churches, streets, cars, trains, musicians, machines, bars, windows, pockets, houses, clubs, friends, strangers, movement.

Part 2: pls. leave a message after the tone by Eleanor Wearing
Since its invention in the 1970s, voicemail has gone through a broad fluctuation in popularity. What was perhaps once seen as a convenient and time-saving function of the telephone is now massively regarded as an annoying and cumbersome way to get a message to someone. This is likely due in-part to the rise of text messaging as many people’s primary method of communication. But what have we lost in this shift? Is there any value to having small recorded pockets of someone’s voice, regardless of whether the message sent is inane or important? This piece is a collection of sounds and voicemails from the CiTR Radio and Discorder Magazine main office line, from 2016-2018.

Inclusion of the Underrepresented: The Beginning of Diverse Ability in Media by Deepi Leihl from 2015's UBC Centennial Radio Documentary Series.
"Inclusion of the Underrepresented: The Beginning of Diverse-Ability in Media" follows the story of three radio producers who use CiTR 101.9FM to make radio about accessibility and disability. We mix snippets from a 1985 radio piece made for CiTR, “Media Effects on Youth - Youth Focus Doc” into the narrative. We use these snippets to delve into the impact the production and consumption of media has on people with disabilities. Deepi, has a rare disability called Metatropic Dwarfism. Mollie and Katie, both UBC students, produce a weekly show called, All Access Pass. We explore what brought these producers to where they are, and the impact they have been able to make through CiTR, as well as the impact their experiences have had on them.
CJSF's contribution is Tony Janolino's interview with Brent Goodman of the Canadian Adaptive Climbing Society, as well as an interview with Tony himself about he and guide dog Manda's participation in the Canada C3 expedition.
Tony is visually impaired, and is an active volunteer at CJSF, student at Simon Fraser University, and employee of SFU Recreation and Athletics.
On CJLO 1690 AM, the accessibility collective has a show every second Friday called the Audio Penpals. The show is a collaboration with participants (both past & present) from the Centre for the Arts in Human Development at Concordia University, which is an educational, clinical and research centre serving adults with developmental disabilities and other special needs populations.
In this piece, Audio Penpals coordinator Cameron MacIntyre sits down with the members to discuss how they got involved and what they enjoy about radio. Further in the episode, Cameron facilitates a group discussion with the Audio Penpals and former coordinator Jenna Welik to discuss accessibility of radio and Concordia University.

CiTR 101.9FM
4th Annual Access Day
Interview with Alice Wong
Aired on May 17th, 2018
Dezy: You are listening to citr 101.9 FM and it is our 4th annual Access Day so from now till 3 p.m. Pacific time, we will be featuring programming centered around accessibility, self-advocacy, social accessibility, adaptive programming and more. My name is Dezy Nair and I'm from citr’s Accessibility Collective. We are broadcasting from Musqueam territory in Vancouver here on the West Coast. In this hour will be speaking to notable American Disability Advocate Alice Wang . Most notably, Alice is known as being the founder and director of the disability visibility project which is an online community dedicated to recording amplifying and sharing disability stories and culture.
(Music - Darkest (Dim) by Tokimonsta)
Alice: Yea so you know i was born disabled. So you know I think the experience of being born disabled in a non disabled world from the very beginning you know in a lot of ways. You made me an activist .you know i have said this before in other conversations, but i do think just the experience alone has made me an accidental activist. You know in a lot of ways i felt uncomfortable with the identity and title of being an activist for a while because you know for a while i wasn't grassroots or community organizer. I wasn't affiliated with an organization. You know, i was just kinda just working on things you know on a very small scale, you know for myself and for others . But you know the last 5 or 6 years you know i do identify as an activist because i am using social media now a as a real tool and platform to help me build a communities. So i guess long story short is that i always been an activist just because of the world that we live because of ableism and white supremacy. But ya it’s been an ongoing thing that did, that started off as more an of individual how i navigate things with with myself to to realize broader and systemic issues. System change is really where it is at because if it helps me it helps other people. I hope that answers your question
Dezy: That was good. That was good. So did you have any roles models growing up?
Alice: You know I really cannot remember especially as a young child, growing up in the midwest you know being asian, being disabled and a girl... I had nobody ever that looked like me growing up. It wasn't until i was in college or you know as a young adult i started reading more by actual disabled people. That was when i started realizing. I got a load of this. Especially in media, I don't think there were very many people that looked like me. I think that’s another thing about you know, hashtag by my friend Vilissa Thompson started the hashtag #disablitytoowhite, I think there is a huge gap in terms of representation of all kinds of multiply marginalized disabled people because we do exist, but we just never see ourselves reflected in mainstream media
Dezy: And has that changed now? Are there people that you look up to who inspire you now?
Alice: Well i will say that you know in the last few years I think senator Tammy Duckworth. You know...What a badass. I think she is so fantastic, what she does and her you know prominence, visibility, as an elected official, a mother, a disabled women of colour. To see her, fully in herself. I do think people that i do really admire, are people i’ve known throughout the disability community and people i follow through twitter. I dont know folks, but you know i alot of people like to … twitter. But I found it an amazing way to connect to diversely abled folk. They are so outspoken and really speak their truth. A lot of people i admire are people i meet on twitter.
Dezy: You know you’ve been doing this for a while now, you’ve written for a number of publications, you have the disability visibility project. How do you feel about being someone that now others look up to?
Alice: oh jez... well. Its weird when people are like “oh i’ve heard of you” or “oh i follow you”. I still find that kind of weird. You know I put stuff out there, sometimes you don't know who will read it, who will touch it, you know that’s really humbling and gratifying. I feel that if folks enjoy and get something out of the work that i do, ‘always nice to hear that. You know i don't want tone myself up as some sort of example or be on some pedestal for somebody. I just try to keep it real, as real as possible.
Dezy: Can you tell us what kind if projects you are up to lately?
Alice: I guess i like to do a lot of partnerships with people. So the last few months i’ve been partnering with a disability rights baby organization called rooted in rights and its based in Seattle. One of things that I approached them about earlier this year, to do a joint call for stories related to the #meetoo movement and the disability community because it comes to representation. You know with the #meetoo and #timesup movements blew up, one thing i immediately noticed was the absense of disabled people and their stories in general media coverage .Even for activists and advocates regarding sexual assault and harassment, when they leave groups out, guess what group they always leave out that is impacted? Disabled people. This will be great way to generate stories from our community and by our community. So you know rooted in rights agreed to put out a call. They’ve published 4 to 5 blog posts by disabled people related to #meetoo. We also had a twitter chat this year and another thing we have coming up on May 9th is a chat on disabled parenting in a lead up to mothers day. I think that that is a form of representation, in terms of does what that look like? What does motherhood look like? How do we center disabled parents, disabled mothers, in these kinds of conversations using social media to get that reach and visibility and sincerity out there so that all of kinds of folks in the end can hopefully share and amplify it.
Dezy: Now you're the founder and project coordinator of the disability visibility project. Can you tell us a little bit more about it and how it came into formation?
Alice: So the disability visibility project, i started in 2014 and originally i started it as a community partnership with storycorps. Storycrops is a a national non-profit in the US. Basically I thought as individual, thought i could i could record a few oral histories as a way to celebrate the disability community. In 2015 it was the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act so originally it was just going to a this one year campaign. I thought maybe i should try to get my friends to do it maybe. Maybe i could interview some of my friends that i thought were amazing and just get their stories to be told. It really blew up, it became this thing that the disability community really embraced and based on that one year, you know a lot of people wanted to do that. So It’s been ongoing since then and i’m really proud to way that we have over 140 oral histories so far. With our partnership with storycorps, they have a relationship with the library of congress so that participants have the option of archiving with the library of congress. It feels really good that we as a community are empowered to tell our own stories and create our own histories and that we are leading something for future generations. That’s pretty awesome.
Dezy: That's amazing. Now what are some things you have hoped or are still hoping to achieve with this platform?
Ya you know i’ve made it kind of it a point to not have any grand plans. I am really open to different partnership. I mentioned rooted in rights, i really feel collaboration with different folks is very powerful and a great way to build community. I am really open to new opportunities in the future but i would really like to do more conversations, create more media featuring people with disabilities. Finding ways to help build skills for others disabled people who want to create media but don't know how to do it yet. You know, those are some other ideas i’m trying to figure out.
Dezy: So you're saying the disability visibility project has been around for quite some time now . What have you noticed in doing this project? what kind of changes and sentiments maybe about disability from the general public or within the disabled community, did you notice in your time since you started this project?
Alice: I guess i do feel like they are a little bit better in terms of folks noticing and appreciating disability rights, disability justice and disability culture. It’s really the result of people with disabilities creating their identity and calling out on ableism, whether that’s on social media or other platforms. I do think that there are more people who are proud to be who they are and are really unapologetic about who they are and i think that to me has really been picking up. That’s a really great sign. We still have a really long way to go in terms of parity and having enough, you know, power. It’s been a slow but really encouraging sign that a lot of people with disabilities are not waiting around for other people to notice us. They are just being themselves, you know, loud and proud and that’s really great.

Since its invention in the 1970s, voicemail has gone through a broad fluctuation in popularity. What was perhaps once seen as a convenient and time-saving function of the telephone is now massively regarded as an annoying and cumbersome way to get a message to someone. This is likely due in-part to the rise of text messaging as many people’s primary method of communication. But what have we lost in this shift? Is there any value to having small recorded pockets of someone’s voice, regardless of whether the message sent is inane or important? This piece is a collection of sounds and voicemails from the CiTR Radio and Discorder Magazine main office line, from 2016-2018.
Unheard recorded material from Anju Singh (The Nausea).
Newly written piece by Jesse Taylor of In Mirrors.
Born in 1919, my grandmother recalls much of her life not as a person, but as a mother. As she approaches her 99th birthday I celebrate my 29th. In this short sound piece, I ask my grandma what she might be doing with her life if she were my age, in today’s world. Drawing from a mix of interviews, music and ambient tape, this piece explores how gendered oppression does not always equate to feminism and how feminism is more than a word.

Thousands of Vancouver commuters ride the 99 B-Line bus route every day. But do you ever really listen to the sounds of the 99? Or are you constantly plugged in to your music, podcast, conversation or phone call? This piece is an uninterrupted audio experience of riding the 99 B-Line from UBC to Commercial-Broadway, as recorded from the very far back right-hand seat. Everything’s there, from waiting in the rain to the beeps of the compass cards to the driver coming over the intercom to remind people to step away from the doors. Think of it as an audio love-letter to public transit and the 99 — the bus we all love to hate.

Then leave the veggies for the next band, Colin Cowan and the Elastic Stars.

These are the coming out stories of Bisexual, Pansexual, Trans, and Queer folks.

'Wolf Trax' by Chris Cardinal
Over the past year, CiTR had the pleasure of working with two practicum students from UBC's First Nation and Indigenous Studies Program. Each student spent many hours researching, writing, editing and producing a podcast series, and today we have the pleasure of sharing them with our listeners as part of our National Aboriginal Day broadcast.
Up first is "Wolf Trax" a three-episode series produced by Chris Cardinal. The series looks at how formal Indigenous education can play a role in improving the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Canada.

These are the collected recordings for CITR 101.9FM's contribution to the 16th Annual NCRA Homelessness Marathon: this includes interviews with vendors working with Megaphone Magazine, an audio collage from the Opioid Overdose Awareness rally, and a discussion on the intersection of homelessness, housing, social exclusion, and addiction. All the recordings you are about to hear are taken from February 21st and 22nd 2017.
The purpose of the Homelessness Marathon is to move towards more equitable media, and make the microphone available. Stations across Canada broadcast from spaces accessible to those who deal with homelessness, first and foremost centring their voices.
While we broadcast from Megaphone to share the voices of its vendors, we felt that our programming efforts for the Homelessness Marathon could not ignore the opioid overdose crisis which has been devastating communities across North America, in particular the Downtown Eastside. Considering the factors which perpetuate and exacerbate homelessness: such as addiction, housing, social exclusion, and more -- along with the overdose crisis, which is most devastating for homeless communities -- we felt it was essential to also focus on the brave activism of the Downtown Eastside community, and the further necessity for action in the wake of a tremendous human rights crisis. As such we also feature an audio collage from the Day of Action Against the Overdose Crisis rally, and an interview on the intersection of addiction and homelessness.
CiTR extends its thank yous to the staff at Megaphone for hosting our broadcast, and facilitating a space for their vendors to talk on-air. Thank you to Megaphone vendors Mark Irvine, Peter Thomson, James Witwicky, Davin Butank for joining us to talk on-air, as well as Duncan Higgan, Project Manager for PHS Community Services. Thank you to the organizers from CAPUD: the Canadian Association of People Who use Drugs and VANDU, Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, for organizing the Rally for Opioid Awareness on February 21st. Thank you for DURC for letting us record in their space. Thank you to organizers Oona Krieg and Justin Van Westen for talking to us about the intersections of homelessness, poverty, housing, and addiction in the wake of the overdose crisis. Thank you to volunteers Rachel Lau, Dezy Nair, Oona Krieg, and Carleigh Baker for hosting and teching the broadcast from Megaphone. Thank you to Cal Murray for sourcing sounds from the February 21st Day of Action on the Overdose Crisis rally which closed this piece. This piece was produced by Jonathan Kew, and the CiTR Programming Department. Final thank you to all the stations that participated in the 2017 NCRA Homelessness Marathon, including host station Local FM out of St. John New Brunswick.
CiTR joins the 2017 NCRA Homelessness Marathon with a live broadcast from Megaphone Magazine, featuring interviews with vendors about the issues surrounding homelessness, poverty, and housing in Vancouver.

From the vales of Kra Land to the mountain peaks of Lotus Land, two horn players simulate the sounds of the airways that stretch in between. With cornet and pocket trumpet they create odd tunings of radio waves, the sound of angels bouncing off the stratosphere, and the noise of birds circling among the clouds. This generative performance will be streamed from Jan 16th-18th. Find the full stream for Luminiferous Noise Machine here: http://absolutevalueofnoise.ca/2017_luminiferous/index.html

“Released as a ‘bonus tape’, with 75 copies riding sidecar to the “Hysteria” LP on NNA Tapes, “Drainolith Presents: Moskos Reads The Zonal Poets Vol.1? is a spoken word cassette by Drainolith’s Alex Moskos (also known for Dan’l Boone, AIDS Wolf, etc). For this sucker curation was key. Moskos went strong into his crew to cull the richest wackadoo. An excerpt of deep-fried cultural criticism by Zac Davis for example. I remember hearing stories in the early 2000’s about a spring chicken’d Zac Davis masturbating into condoms in the back of tour vans, then eating them, and that wasn’t even the deep end for his mug. But it’s all probably only 80% true or so.” Find out more here: http://www.tabsout.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/draino-large.jpg
“As Souns, Michael Red’s Coastal project was born out sub-bass frequencies he started hearing on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia after taking up part-time residence there in 2011. The source of these frequencies is unknown and part of what appears to be a global mystery. As a whole, Coastal plays like a collection of field recordings with a few brief human interactions injected into otherwise natural, magnified sound environments. Coastal was pieced together from hours worth of recordings, selecting the most musical moments when the environment spoke the strongest and the unknown bass frequencies were the most dynamic.” Find out more here: http://notype.com/drones/cat.e/pan_092/
“Radio is pervasive, but not omnipresent. Hear the sounds of spaces impenetrable to radio waves with Autonomy, host of CiTR’s copy/paste. Layered with improvised drum machine polyrhythms and synthesis mutations, this live in-studio performance builds music from spaces that reject airborne electromagnetism.”
“…a collection of sounds I imagine whilst walking around this city at night time with my baby strapped to my body. The pieces focus on breath, pitch, frequencies, the global hum, and layered improvised vocal meanderings.”
gak returns to 24 Hours of Radio Art, celebrating the Fluxists who brought us this day but also looking at the continued toll of 2016 with composer Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016 ) and inventor Don Buchla (1937-2016) highlighting a mix of relatively modern avantgarde sounds. A small studio experiment ensues whereby the radio station is turned into its own instrument.

A non-stop almost hour long mix featuring various archival pieces from various past Noise Days and Art’s Birthdays and other related occurrences (some even preceding the first official 24 Hours of Noise). What they all have in common is that Bill Mullan was there when they happened, sometimes contributing, sometimes merely bearing witness And they always shared a common goal, which was no fixed goal beyond noise, music, art, whatever. Nothing was ever written, rehearsed, practiced, planned in anyway. It all just happened.
San Francisco (or San Pancho, as it is known by locals) is a small town in the Nayarit region of Mexico. Once a small fishing village, then the site of an urban planning experiment in the 1970s, San Pancho is now a surfer town experiencing rapid gentrification. My father purchased land in San Pancho close to a decade ago, and I have visited annually since 2012. In that time, the sounds of the town have shifted. The noise of rural Mexico - roosters, gas company promotions, roadside produce vendors - are now accompanied by the sounds of nightlife and tourism growth - rumba-remixed hits, visitors on all-inclusive day trips, yoga retreats. This piece is an audio journal of San Pancho now, recorded in segments between December 16, 2016 and January 1, 2017.

“Inspired by experimental music, mail art, Fluxus, Dada and pataphysics, much of Bull’s practice has been ephemeral and dialogic, produced for underground audiences in artist-run and improvised contexts. Yet material things have played an important role as documents, pops, and aesthetic objects in their own right.” Hank Bull presents a new series of recordings for CiTR’s 24 Hours of Radio Art in advance of his new exhibition, Connexion, opening at the Burnaby Art Gallery January 19th.

“…an exploration of the possibilities that sampling provides to electronic composition…Oldies works as a meditation on the relationship between the radio medium and popular music, re-contextualizing melodies and fragments from hit songs originally disseminated through radio, and titled after a hallowed radio format.” Find out more here: http://www.citr.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Oldies-%E2%80%94-Explanation-1.pdf
Featuring all the pieces of CiTR production that aren’t quite good enough for real radio, bloopers is a testament to the DIY nature of community radio. “A fear of making mistakes held me back from making radio. This piece is meant to celebrate making mistakes; mistakes made on radio are, for the most part, transient and momentary but also can be hidden or erased.”
