Sam Seder interviewed me at YearlyKos, and you can listen to it, uncut, here. I should add the disclaimer that I haven’t even listened to it yet and that I was extremely exhausted, stressed and out of it when I spoke with him, so I probably sound like a bumbling fool.
I also can’t figure out how to get the interview to play on my Mac. Any suggestions?
Some YK pictures are here. I’ve been hunting for video footage of my panel, but I haven’t come across any yet. Should a video surface, I’ll put it up.

I think you sounded great. If anything, Sam sounded a bit tired. I liked it though, he let you talk about what you wanted to talk about.
It worked fine on my iBook (running OSX 10.3.9)– Real Player just popped up and started playing.
It was a great interview, although I’m confused by the thing about Cheney and parkas. I missed the story at the time, and am kinda oblivious as to how wearing a parka to the Holocaust Memorial would be offensive– does anyone have a link?
Kate, here’s a link. I think the photo should illustrate what I was talking about.
I don’t think you sound bumbling in the least. You certainly sounded more comfortable with the whole “interview thing” than you did when you were interviewed by NPR (though I didn’t think you sounded bumbling in that interview either).
There was, however, something you said in your interview (i.e., the notion that feminism hasn’t happened in waves) that I have to disagree with – largely because of my own experiences as a woman who came of age “between waves,” but I think that’s a long subject that I’ll have to leave for a more substantial post (after the kidlets go to bed) in my own blog (so as not to take up additional space here).
I hear ya. I think the wave issue is a complicated one — obviously there have been major surges where feminism has accomplished a lot and has gained popularity, but my problem with the “wave” discussion is that it overlooks all the feminist work that goes on between waves. It makes it seem like feminism is a trend that rises up and then dies for a while, when in fact the major achievements of each ‘wave” are built on years of hard work between waves.
I also don’t like it because I have no idea where I fit into it. Am I third wave? Fourth wave? Between waves? It seems to have lost its usefulness as a defining term after the “second wave” in the 1970s. Which wave did the Porn Wars of the 1980s fall into? The clinic defenses of the early 90s? The RiotGrrrls? The feminist bloggers of my generation? I guess I just find it too inexact.
Hope that clarifies a little bit…
Yo Jill, respectfully, don’t badmouth yourself, that’s the trolls’ job.
What is Sam Seder doing now that The Majority Report (it was such a great show!) is over? Please let us know. Oh, and, yay for you, too, Jill. :)

Yep.
