This week on Forbes Avenue, we talked to Catherine Evans to talk about her work with queer and feminist media! She spoke about the Pittsburgh scene and working with Kipp Dawson and her materials. She also had great insights from archiving and studying everyday media like t-shirts or board games or event ticket stubs. It was a really fun and informative conversation! Tune in to learn more about activism, drag, and the long seventies.

Annie Carins of the Light Of Life Rescue Mission recently joined us on Forbes Avenue to talk about the situation of the homeless (or “unhoused”) citizens of Pittsburgh. This enlightening conversation was both sobering and optimistic.

Annie told us some heart-breaking stories and statistics, but the bottom line is that non-profit agencies; area health networks; and city, state, and county government officials are working together to improve services for Pittsburgh’s homeless citizens. She reminded us that each unhoused person or family has a different story and has different recovery needs.

Annie suggested that listeners can help by donating resources or time to some of the agencies that are helping those caught in extreme situations. Volunteers are the lifeblood of non-profit agencies, shelters, and soup kitchens!
