Ahri Golden and Tania Ketenjian,, co-founders of Thin Air Media, produced BIRTH, an audio documentary aired in 2007 to wide acclaim, which explored the ways practices and perceptions of birth have changed in America in the past 100 years. Now these two spirited ladies have taken on the postpartum experience with their new project, BORN, which hits the public radio airwaves for Women’s History Month in March, 2009.
Golden and Ketenjian dive into this subject from many angles by including the voices of women speaking honestly about their postpartum experience and how their identities have changed after becoming mothers, fathers sharing their own experiences, as well as tapping a diverse group of experts – from neurologists, psychologists, therapists, obstetricians and pediatricians, to midwives, evolutionary biologists and sociologists all weighing in on the subject.
BORN is nationally distributed by Public Radio International (PRI) and is available to public radio stations during and after March, 2009, though it will not necessarily be aired in all areas. Ahri and Tania add,
With questions of early motherhood and work at the center of today’s
public debate, we invite you to email and call your station to request
BORN be aired in your community. Please find your local station at
www.pri.org and click on “Stations”.
I am really looking forward to hearing this – I am hopping over right now to request that the Providence public radio station airs BORN, and I encourage you to do the same for your area!
