The reaction to the first day of Womanradio.org was amazing. One woman said she made goodies and she and a group of friends listened to it all. Women emailed just to say thank you. The station had media coverage from the Caribbean to Sudbury, Ontario. We are now looking for suggestions for interview topics, musicians and singers. If you have a program idea please send an outline.

Please join us for special programming on March 16th the first anniversary of the initial tainted pet food recall of 2007. The day that Menu Foods acknowledged what customers had been saying for months.

At 2 p.m. programming begins with a song for the companion animals lost “Make a Change” written by well known composers Karen Phillips and Yohanna Vanderkley of Webbils and Songs. There will be an interview with a lawyer involved with the first class action law suits versus Menu Foods, pet owners one year later, pet food testing labs and people working to make a change.

Why is this a women’s issue? In the 40 billion dollar US pet industry the average consumer is a 40 year old woman. They bought the food that killed or permanently injured thousands of companion animals. On PETitionz.org 94% of the visitors are women. Plus many women viewed the dead pets as canaries in the global coal mine: a warning that our children could be the next sacrifice.

Life changed for all pet guardians with the announcement of the initial tainted pet food recall on March the 16th last year. The announcement was not the beginning of the story and it certainly wasn’t the end.

Many people have commented on the blogs we have all come to know so well that something should be done in rememberance on this sad anniversary. This special programming on WomanRadio.org is our contribution for the companion friends lost.

Why is this travesty a woman’s issue? In the $40 billion dollar U.S. pet food industry, the average customer is a 40 year old woman. We brought the deadly pet food into our pet’s homes.

On PETitionz.org, over the last year, 94% of the people commenting, voting and contributing were women. Many women viewed the pet victims as “canaries in the global coal mine”. It is a warning that our children could be the next sacrifice.

Please join us starting at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (11 a.m. Pacific) in honor of friends lost. See the announcement below for details.

Just how much better can this get? We were only up for 1 day before the WomanRadio.org site was attacked and no one could get access. We were rolling along nicely until then with more and more listeners tuning in by the hour.

So the site is being rebuilt and we expect it to be back online by Tuesday March 11.

In the meantime you will be able to listen here to the station and Founder Karen Fraser will update us shortly on how she hopes Woman Radio will evolve by inviting participation by fascinating women from around the world.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

WomanRadio.org Launching on International Women’s Day

Karen Fraser, President of Women Like Me is pleased to announce the birth of an internet radio station for women. Starting at 9 a.m. eastern standard time Saturday March 8th Womanradio.org will offer programming and music about women’s realities and perspectives. It will cover issues, interests and successes too often diluted or neglected by traditional media.

Why web radio? It is worldwide and ideally suited for multitasking. It is there when you want it; just type in www.womanradio.org on your computer to listen, learn and laugh while doing several tasks.

Intended for? The station is for women at all ages and stages. Launch Day interviews will feature outstanding achievers such as Dr. Andrea O’Reilly of York University. The Association for Research on Mothering she founded and now directs was a first and now has members in 20 countries.

Equally inspiring is the interview with recent MBA graduate Natalie Chinsam working simultaneously at her first and second careers and volunteering to organize a Literacy Camp for Grade Four students in Jamaica each summer.

Womanradio.org was created by the generosity of many and women and men. Overly busy women made the time to be interviewed between appointments, family illnesses, travel commitments and the ongoing Toronto 2008 snowstorms. Real estate agent Raynu Khaneja of Urbanopolis.ca, global medical transfer specialist Gail Courneyea of Angels of Flight and Personal Chef Tabitha Chapman of Enjoy Not Cooking enthusiastically sponsored a brand new idea.

“Like International Women’s Day the internet is global enabling Womanradio to celebrate Women’s Day all year”, states Karen Fraser, “Perhaps the www should stand for worldwide women or even better it should stand for the world we want.
