GenderTalk's Former Staff [view current staff]
|
|
In Cambridge:
|
 "Gender News" Producers Ethan & Karen St. Pierre (progs #437-565):
Transactivist and FTM Ethan St. Pierre, and his spouse, MTF Karen St. Pierre, performed a variety of roles on GenderTalk, initially compiling announcements and managing the phones before reporting weekly on current events, initiating the GenderTalk "Gender News" segment. They brought two more dedicated transgender activist voices to the program. They also produce and host their own online radio program, "TransFM", at transfm.org.
|
 Warrior Director & events editor Karen Larsen (thru prog #436): Careening nearly out of control, Karen brings incorrigible good humor and an unpredictable voice to GenderTalk. She is rumored to practice a rare eastern mysticism which equips her with magical powers and keeps the rest of the crew on their best behavior. She holds it all together behind the scenes while we're on the air.
|
 Phone answerer Amana Hotpoint (progs #179-300): Amana brought a Boston accent, love of the theatre, and willingness to answer the phone endlessly to bear on the demanding task of placating the demands of the rest of the GenderTalk crew - no small chore, indeed -- while greeting listeners and other callers to the program, dispensing wisdom and good cheer.
|
 Ross Lippert (progs #1-169): Ross brought all the testosterone-charged energy of an inquisitive and youthful MIT grad student to bear on the task of how to be most disruptive of boring radio. One of the original members of GenderTalk, he left the program only when he graduated and took a job in, of all places, Albuquerque. He left there for professional reasons prior to GenderTalk's arrival.
|
|
Jamie Stowell (first year, not online): Jamie was one of the original members of the crew, and did a special feature each week. She left the program reluctantly during our first season when she was forced to move across country for job-related reasons.
|
|
Others: AJ Dirks assisted with the programs for several years (thru #199), first as an assistant and later co-hosting with Nancy. Faye Schwartz assisted for about a year, thru #212.

Harder to catch on microphone than that legendary trickster, Ali shepherds each GenderTalk program with tender loving care and graceful expertise.
Assistant Joe Warnes:
Bringing a deft musician's hand to the telephone keypad, Joe reaches out and connects us with our guests every week.
