Forward Radio podcasts

On this week's Access Hour, we bring you the first pilot of a new program here on Forward Radio, Sacrifice Zones, hosted by Stretch. We all live in a Sacrifice Zone, separated only by how well insulated we are in settler colonial projects. This week's guest is Dr. Lina Yassine, a Palestinian who was born as a refugee in Jordan. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Jordan Medical school in Amman. She later on completed an internal Medicine residency and an Endocrinology fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She is currently practicing Endocrinology in Louisville, Kentucky. Sometimes referred to as the sugar doctor.
