Description
Beth Judy discusses how she came to work as a radio producer at In Other Words and how it helped her develop the professional skills she needed to work in radio full time. She discusses her time as a feminist activist in Atlanta, Georgia, and how In Other Words also supported feminism through its mission of radio “by women, for women.” Judy details the format of the show, some of the technical difficulties the producers learned to solve, and how she and the other volunteers came up with different ideas for the show each week. She recalls the camaraderie that developed among her and the other women while working on the show. Judy notes that the show was produced and run by volunteers rather than paid staff, and many of them weren’t radio professionals, which contributed to the “homemade” quality of the show that she feels characterized Missoula radio at that time. She also talks about the women with whom she worked including Linda “Lin” Smith, Ann Szalda-Petree, Janet Scott, and Jane Ragsdale.
