Let’s Talk About It

The first step to solving any problem is shining a light on it, and Patrisha’s show, “Let’s Talk About It!” is one more way we are doing this with the very big problem of domestic abuse! Patrisha gets real in talks with her fellow survivors— the real experts — on the classic ways abusers terrorize the people they purport to love, and how the so-called justice system coddles perpetrators and gives a back hand to victims. Music is by Jackie McLean Strack, the host’s daughter. https://open.spotify.com/artist/1M6qI3IXGTAAKFEZNLGr13
