Description:
According to some sources, heroin use by women has tripled in the last decade. Why? Is "the life" different for women? What about recovery programs? Is the problem the illegality of heroin or the drug itself? This program was inspired by the book "Women on Heroin," by Marsha Rosenbaum. Ginny Z. Berson talks with Sheila Murphy, Rosenbaum's research associate on the book, and two recovering addicts, Emma and Marilyn, who share some startling feelings about heroin use. Poetry by Avotcja and Sonido Afro Latina; Music by Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, and Ricki Lee Jones.
Note on box: "Levels jumpy; some buzz under call-ins."

Note on box is true, plus warbly sometimes in the opening.
Episode of "Women's magazine" with Ginny Z. Berson.
Program starts with performance of poem by Avotcja and Sonido Afro Latina. (http://www.avotcja.org/bio.html)
Broken into two tracks: 00:52:15 and 00:37:51
Fascinating program--great for premiums, except that I wonder whether we should promote a program with women's voices who are in an anonymous program. Plus, the music would have to be cleared or cut out.
