Program Title: Gender, identity and music
Description: Last New Year’s day, Suzy Wedge embraced femininity by becoming a trans-person for the first time. Her decision was followed by creative wave of song-writing, and Suzy Wedge and the Waves was born. As the band’s new CD—Transgression—is about to be released, we speak with Suzy Wedge about gender, identity, and music—and her personal experiences as a trans-person living in Nanaimo, B.C. Through music, and her developing activism, Suzy Wedge is calling for a ‘transgender revolution’.

Host(s): Kevin Midbo, Jan Coleman
Featured Speakers/Guests: We’re joined in the studio by Suzy Wedge, of Suzy Wedge and the Waves.
