Women's Issues, Women's Voices is a feminist talk show that covers a wide-range of interests from a women's perspective focusing on News, Politics, Health, Community Events, and Family. Our weekly shows are hosted by a collective of four women programmers who rotate programming responsibilities. Radio, like most media, is dominated by mens voices. WIWV intentionally brings women's voices to the Mid-Missouri radio airwaves giving a fresh perspective on news and programming not heard anywhere else in the area. Tune in every Thursday from 7 to 8 PM for Women's Issues, Women's Voices.

Mary Novokhovsky

Mary Novokhovsky is a Journalism student at the University of Missouri who hails from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. She stumbled upon her opportunity to become a part of the Womens Issues, Womens Voices team after meeting Michelle Grant at a coffee shop in downtown Columbia. Ever since that fine day she's been on the airwaves addressing the complex issues surrounding the life of a college girl. From losing your virginity to being a stand up comedian, no topic lands under the radar. She's always open to suggestions, comments, concerns, ideas, criticisms, and anything else you might want to email her at M.Novokhovsky@gmail.com.

Michelle Grant

Michelle Grant, writer, musician and radio producer was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. In school, she focused on theater, acting in and directing numerous plays. In 1996 at age 19, after the birth of her son, she began writing poetry and singing back up for local bands. In 2002, she self-published her first book of poetry "Transitional Girl." In 2007, she moved to Columbia, MO. In 2008 she co-formed the local Columbia band "The Forealsies". Ms. Grant joined "Woman's Issues, Woman's Voice's" in November 2008 with co-host Sarah Goodnow. She is currently editing her second book of poetry and working on her first feature screenplay.

Sarah Catlin-Dupuy

Sarah Catlin-Dupuy was born and raised in the Ozarks. Her first radio experience was producing music shows in her award-winning high school media class. She traded early aspirations of being a studio percussionist for a B.A. in English (with minors in French and Film Theory) from Missouri State University and an M.A. in American Literature from the University of South Carolina.

She loves teaching all sorts of liberal arts and women's studies courses at Stephens College. Sarah is the "mom" of the collective, with a special interest in feminist practices of birthing and parenting. She loves listening to music, reading novels, eating good food, watching films, exploring new places, and laughing with friends.

She is ecstatic to be featuring local women's voices and bringing attention to issues that affect women on KOPN. She firmly believes, as do the Talugu people, "When three women join together the stars come out in broad daylight."

Carol Greenspan

Carol Greenspan was an incipient woman activist as a small child when she noted that boys had more freedoms than did girls. As she became older, she became aware of more double standards in choice of work, access to education, societal expectations, economics and so many areas of life. She has seen the effects of a world in which abortion was not legal, contraception not readily available. Her parents were divorced. While her father's life style changed little, her mother, sister, and Carol moved into a one bedroom furnished apartment.

The women's movement was a revelation: she no longer felt alone and found some of the "missing answers." Carol has headed the Tidewater (VA) Women's Political Caucus, been involved with other women's movement groups in multiple capacities, and has been privileged to be one of those dealing with these issues on KOPN! She believes all issues are women's issues if looked at from a woman's point of view and by women themselves. She is especially interested in the intersection of the personal and the political. This former biochemist and college professor is committed to helping make the world more peaceful, just and fulfilling.
