TTL Zoom - Epi 16 - Activism - Exercising Rights - 03_29_22

True Tales Live

Each year True Tales Live has the on month set aside for the theme: Activism/Exercising Your Rights. It has been a consistently popular theme and this Zoom edition was no exception. Our three storytellers (in order of appearance) were Jezrie Marcano-Courtney ("The Blasphemer" ) Vicki Juditz ("Longing for Jail Time") and in a rerun recorded at PPMTV Studio on May 28, 2019, Arnie Alpert ("Bending Toward Justice"). After the storytelling there is a brief Q+A session from the Chat List on Zoom and then our announcer, Amy Antonucci, hosts a discussion with Arnie Alpert and Cathy Wolff...all three of these folks have been very involved in "Activism" and they talk a bit about that, but also pay tribute to a NH Legislature Renny Cushing, who had just passed away about 2 weeks before this show. Renny was an activist for many things, but was connected with our program by being one of several people who helped rid New Hampshire of the Death Penalty on May 30, 2019... two days after Arnie Alpert presented his story "Bending Toward Justice". This discussion between Amy, Cathy, and Arnie also included a few words from Storyteller, Activist, Andy Davis who happened to be in the viewing audience. For "Backstory" fans ... we did not do that portion of the program for this show.
