The Fall of Roe

WORT Music Playlists

What was that song I heard? Who was the artist, what is the album title, where can I get it? Where can I find the entire playlist for a show?

Click on the Playlists button to bring up a calendar where you can choose any date to find the playlists for that day. If you can’t find the right playlist or the song you’re looking for, your best bet is to call the station the next time that program’s on and ask the host yourself. If that’s not possible we may be able to help you, but please have as much information as possible at hand when you contact us, such as: approximate day and time the music was played, what type or genre of music it was, who hosted the show and any other information you remember about the selection and we’ll do our best to track it down.

How do I get my music played on WORT?

We accept submissions in most genres and styles of music, focusing on noncommercial, out-of-the-mainstream, independent releases (check out our playlists and music charts for more information.) It may take up to a few weeks for us to review and process your submission so we appreciate your patience, and feel free to contact us to follow up. Please send your music, indicating any tracks with language that needs to be aired after 10 pm and including a one-sheet description and any biographical and tour information, to WORT Music Director, 118 S. Bedford St, Madison, WI 53703 and/or to musicdirector@wortfm.org.

We do accept digital files on .wav or mp3, but currently we still prefer CDs to digital submissions because it’s the quickest way to get it into the hands of our programmers and onto the airwaves, though we have a growing digital library. Digital submissions should be .wav or other lossless files, or high quality mp3s [128-320 kbps.]

You can follow up or “track” your submissions by email, or call 608-256-2001 on Wednesdays between 1-4 pm CST to ask if we received it, has it been reviewed, has it been added to our library, and what kind of airplay it’s getting—e.g. light, medium, heavy or charting. Thanks and we look forward to hearing your music!

Today’s show is dedicated to this week’s leaked Supreme Court opinion and the likely end of Roe v. Wade.

First, Friday host Esty Dinur speaks to Jill E. Adams, executive director of If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice, and Robin Marty, director of the West Alabama Women’s Center and author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America. They discuss why abortion access is so crucial and practical advice for how people can prepare for what is most likely coming.

In the second half of the program, State Senator Kelda Roys outlines what to expect here in Wisconsin and why it’s more important now than ever to vote in the midterm elections.

Jill E. Adams, J.D., is executive director of If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice. She was previously the founder and strategy director of the SIA Legal Team, founding executive director of the Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice at UC Berkeley, and the executive director of Law Students for Reproductive Justice. She is executive editor of Cases on Reproductive Rights and Justice (Foundation Press, 2015), the first legal textbook on the subject.

Robin Marty is director of operations at West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Previously, she was the senior political reporter for Rewire News, a reproductive health and justice news site, where she covered state-based abortion bans and other assaults on reproductive rights. She is the author of Crow After Roe: How “Separate But Equal” Has Become the New Standard In Women’s Health and How We Can Change That (Ig Publishing, 2013) and The New Handbook for a Post-Roe America: The Complete Guide to Abortion Legality, Access, and Practical Support (Seven Stories Press, 2021).

Senator Kelda Roys represents Wisconsin’s 26th Senate District. After law school, Senator Roys served for four years as executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, where she developed innovative and successful efforts to expand emergency contraception access through state and local policy. Under her leadership, Wisconsin passed the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims Act.
