“Peaceful Warriors” by Tanya Rodrigue.
This narrative audio journalism piece—part documentary/part personal narrative—tells a story of the Jan. 21st Women's March. The story weaves together narration, family stories, media clips, and interviews/conversations with protestors at the sister marches in Chicago, DC, London, Toronto and Denver. Perhaps more importantly, it tells a story about protests—how they work to foster human connection and evoke intense emotions that drive people to action.
Tanya Rodrigue is an English professor at Salem State University and teaches writing and rhetoric. She lives in Salem, Massachusetts with her husband, Pete, and her son, Aedan.

This is an audio trailer for Rain Check Collected Stories by Levi Andrew Noe.
There is a special offer for a FREE audiobook, just tune in at the end of the episode.
Please enjoy three complete stories from Rain Check free. And if you like what you hear and want to purchase the entire book you can find it on Audible or iTunes. You can also visit raincheckbook.com for more about the book and to purchase a print or e-book version.
The 58 stories of Rain Check explore the vast universes that exist within the 1,000 word confines of flash literature. The material leaps gracefully from the humorous, the heartbreaking, reverent, profane, carnal and the ethereal. Noe makes us feel bound in deeply personal moments and experiences that, in turn, tap into the unifying humanity that binds us all. Rain Check zooms in and out of the macro and microscopic while always keeping a keen eye on the multi-faceted mystery of being that seems to only make sense through contradiction.
Published by Truth Serum Press, Copyright 2016, the Audiobook was produced by Levi Andrew Noe copyright 2016.
