Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 201 we get better acquainted with Mel Jones. She talks about so many things both personal and political; sex, depression, therapy, age, forgiveness, family, performing, community, discrimination, news, songwriting and speaking words are just a few of the topics and tangents we cover. Content Note: This episode deals with mental health issues and therapy. The conversation also covers issues around child abuse and sexual abuse, although it doesn't contain graphic descriptions of either. It also contains plenty of love, warmth and laughter Mel plugs: Friggers of Speech: https://www.facebook.com/FriggersofSpeech Contact Mel [e-mail] or https://www.facebook.com/mel.jones.505 The next SUT is: Tragic Spring: http://www.facebook.com/events/588668424609848/ We mention: PBH Free Fringe CD: https://pbhfreefringespokenword.bandcamp.com/album/a-maze-of-breaths-spoken-word-at-pbhs-free-fringe Stand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/ Porn Poem: https://pbhfreefringespokenword.bandcamp.com/track/porn Asexuality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality fog in the channel europe cut off: http://politicalquotes.org/node/19094 Page 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_3 Indigo Girls: http://www.indigogirls.com/ Joni Mitchell: http://jonimitchell.com/ Leonard Cohen: http://www.leonardcohen.com/home Lily Tomlin - forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/87427-forgiveness-means-giving-up-all-hope-for-a-better-past Oscar Wild quote: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/o/oscarwilde124821.html Ambivert: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ambivert Tantalus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus The Crib: http://www.thecrib.org.uk/ John Pilger - the inevitable ring of the unimaginable: http://www.rickieleejones.com/forum.htm RT: http://rt.com/uk/ Al Jazeera: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Radio 4: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 Bang Said the Gun: https://twitter.com/bangsaidthegun Dan Cockrill: http://www.danielcockrill.com/ Paul Excentric: http://pauleccentric.co.uk/ Dan Simpson: https://dansimpsonpoet.wordpress.com/ Luke Wright: http://www.lukewright.co.uk/ Follow @GBApodcast on Twitter.
