Rebroadcast - Kate Clinton

Kate Clinton is nothing short of hilarious, in fact, she's been described as the most talented lesbian comedienne ever, but her audience extends well beyond the gay community. Her humor is irreverent, liberating and 'on the money.' In addition to performing, Clinton's worked extensively with social justice and non-profit groups. Here what all the fuss is about in this week's rebroadcast.

Jessica Dermody and Lolita Brinkley - Life Without Parole

Meet Jessica Dermody, producer/director/writer and actress Lolita Brinkley. Their paths have come together in the production of Life Without Parole.
