Audio Work — Pam Speaks too

Reading at Boswell Books in Milwaukee from my essay in the anthology FAMILY STORIES FROM THE ATTIC

Compiling and providing links to some of my audio work — had neglected doing this when I switched the blog over to Medium! So, if you have time and interest for any of these subjects, listen at your leisure. Many of these pieces aired on Milwaukee Public Radio’s Lake Effect, WUWM, 89.7. I’ll list the time at the end of each piece.

Worst title goes to “Mothers & Marmees & Moms, Oh My,” but don’t let that stop you from listening to this Mother’s Day tribute. It is about the greatest gift my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother gave me. May, 2017-4:26

“Fighting the Backbeat” is about a time when my child spoke to me about considering suicide. Mar., 2015-4:31

“My Legacy Won’t Be Whitewashed”- about raising children to be culturally sensitive despite their mother’s very white life. Dec., 2014–3:15

“The End of Pinktober” about Breast Cancer Awareness month. Won first place, large market essay, from the WI Broadcasters Association. Oct., 2012 — 3:36

“Gymnastics Changed My Life” — about former gymnast’s reflections after the Fab Five rocked the London Olympics. Summer, 2012–4:01 (Link on SoundCloud because WUWM had changed their system after this.)

Audio Work — Pam Speaks too was originally published in Pam Writes on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
