Women’s life-changing stories<\/span><\/h3>\n

The end of November is the one year anniversary of podcast SOME KINDA WOMAN, Stories of Us!<\/em> During COVID lockdowns and isolation, this podcast provided listeners with a rich connection to story, using a simple, intimate technology: one voice to an audience of one. Thirty six stories were recorded in Roberts Creek, eight illustrations were created and thousands of downloads have been listened to and shared.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The podcast features historically-based, local and international stories reflecting women’s life-changing experiences, many taken from theatrical plays written by Caitlin Hicks and directed by Gord Halloran. Ten illustrations were created by Halloran to capture the essence of each story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The work is humorous and emotional, the characters outspoken, the issues and events in women’s lives from lighthearted Christmas stories to the exhilaration of a powerful birth, to losing a child to divorce, death, miscarriage, abortion. Podcasts in the series THE LIFE WE LIVED<\/strong><\/em> tell of physical, emotional and financial hardship as settlers of a harsh land.<\/p>\n

The theatrical play and film SINGING THE BONES<\/em><\/strong> provides stories of women, birth, and motherhood in many of it aspects, all told from a deeply personal point of view. (Rachel is Born, Wind Water, Window to the Universe, She’s Not Screaming<\/strong>)<\/em>\u00a0Other stories capture hilarious characters who speak their minds (Six Palm Trees<\/em><\/strong> and Gertie!<\/em><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two stories proved to be favourites with audiences. The first, A KNOCK ON THE DOOR<\/em><\/strong>, tells the tale of a hippie mother in Pender Harbor in the Seventies who wakes one winter morning to discover her 5 year old daughter is missing. Taken from a true story with many historical details. The final irony: on the day the podcast was uploaded, the mother who told the story, Lise Langlois, died in Sechelt, surrounded by loved ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By far, the most popular story, CHANGE GONNA COME<\/strong> is excerpted from Hicks’ second novel, KENNEDY GIRL, (soon to be published) and reflects the day Martin Luther King was killed, from the pov of a white teenager volunteering at the offices of Robert Kennedy’s Wilshire Boulevard campaign for President in 1968.<\/p>\n
