Consider this your annual PSA to listen to Sue Scott's (longtime voice actor on
A Prairie Home Companion) podcast "Island of Discarded Women." The over 30 episodes (available on your favorite podcast platform and
on their website) feature comedy sketches, musical performances, storytelling, and interviews with fascinating and inspiring women. What began as a way for Sue to use her voice after she was essentially fired from her job for being "too old for radio" has blossomed into a platform to elevate women's voices from many different areas of life. A rotating cast of local actors and musicians join Sue on the island, along with resident musician Zippy Laske, who writes a new song for each episode that poignantly represents the theme of the stories being told. As a bonus, the podcast is recorded live every month, and you can go see it!
