Graphic Policy Radio With Guest Kristy Guevara-Flanagan
This week's episode of Graphic Policy Radio comes at a special time as we welcome special guest Kristy Guevara-Flanagan to talk about Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines.
The documentary traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, Wonder Women! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.
Kristy’s first feature-length film was an acclaimed documentary covering four years in the lives of four adolescent girls. Going on 13 was an official selection of Tribeca, Silverdocs, and many other international film festivals. It received funding from ITVS and was broadcast on public television in 2009. Kristy has also produced and directed several short films, including El Corrido De Cecilia Rios, a chronicle of the violent death of 15-year-old Cecilia Rios. It was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. Now an assistant professor at Diablo Valley College, Kristy has a MFA in Film Production from San Francisco State University.
The documentary recently had its television broadcast premiere in the United States on PBS's Independet Lens series.
Through June 14, 2013, you can see the complete film streaming on the PBS website.

SoundDropping's R&B Hour
Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B and RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. The term has subsequently had a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s, the term rhythm and blues was frequently applied to blues records. Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. By the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as "Contemporary R&B".Tags: Tonedefradio Rhythm and blues Friday Mix Slow Jams Music

Susan Boyd brings regional mysteries to her readers
Author’s Beat presents Susan Boyd, formerly with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Her last post of duty was Boston, Massachusetts, the backdrop to Secrets of the Charles. In addition to that book, she has written Secrets Hide Lies, as well as several award-winning short stories, two of which have been published in the Creative Writers anthology.
Secrets of the Charles is a first-place winner of the 2010 Royal Palm Literary Award. It reveals how three women solve a murder when the witnesses and suspects are probably dead. Drawn by flashing police lights, a teenage Jack O'Shea stands among on-lookers as the Boston police pull his mother's body from the Charles River. More than 50 years later, his high school sweetheart, Kate, daughter Lilith, and granddaughter Alexa team with two police detectives to uncover the truth. Following the few clues left in a dusty evidence box and Kate's recollection of her life with Jack, they discover the secrets, lies and dreams intertwining the victim's family with her lover and his wife.
