    Judy Collins: Amazing Grace

    There's no mistaking Judy Collins' voice. She sang us through the 1960's and '70's, and hasn't stopped since. Today at 81, her voice is still strong and gorgeous. It reveals no signs of the struggles she has survived: depression, alcoholism, polio, tuberculosis, threatening injuries to her vocal chords and hands, and the suicide of her son. In this interview she talks frankly about how she carried on through these tragedies, and she eloquently describes how she knows when a song is right for her.   (c ) American Academy of Achievement 2020

    Judy Collins

    To kick off our month long celebration of Women's History Month, today we are featuring an interview with the great Judy Collins. At 82 years-old, Collins is in the midst of a creative shift. She first made a name for herself in the 60’s folk revival covering songs by artists like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. But this year, for the first time in her career, she’s released an album written entirely by herself. The album’s called Spellbound. And the music feels right at home with some of the best in her catalog. On today's episode she tells tells Bruce Headlam about her recent burst of activity, which includes six albums in the last six years. They also talk about her working relationship with Leonard Cohen, and how she actually lived the rugged life that peers like Dylan could only sing about.

    Judith Collins: Senior National MP on her resignation from politics after 24 years

    Judith Collins is leaving politics on a high note.  The former National leader and senior MP is stepping back from politics after 24 years, taking up a new role mid-year as Law Commission President.  Since Collins was first elected in 2002, she's held 18 ministerial roles, and is currently the Minister for Defence, Public Service, Space, Digitising Government, and the GCSB and NZSIS, and also the Attorney-General.  She told Mike Hosking she’s become the Mother of the House, and dealing with Parliament is like having 120-something naughty children.  Collins says she feels like it’s time to go, and with 12 years in Opposition and 12 in government, there’s a good symmetry.   LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Special report: LGBTQ+ rights under attack in Africa

    Two events in Washington today tell a story about American global priorities. First, President Biden hosts a summit with African leaders to recognize what the administration calls the continent's "enormous potential and promise." The second has the President host a signing ceremony for the Respect for Marriage Act, the bipartisan bill that requires the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages across the country. In Africa, homosexuality is outlawed in many countries, like Ghana. While the President of Ghana visits the White House, a draconian new bill being debated at home would criminalize not just same-sex "conduct," but any support of LGBTQ rights. Correspondent Nima Elbagir reveals how US and western donors, who pledged to support LGBTQ+ rights, have also funded supporters of the controversial bill.  Also joining today's show: LGBTQ activist Phyll Opoku-Gyimah; actor Sharon Horgan; singer/songwriter Judy Collins.
