    You can find this week’s Austen authors at their websites: https://www.ahkim.net/ and https://melodieedwards.com/. They are also on IG @ melodiewritesedwards and @ahkim.writer



    Jane Austen was born in 1775 and died in 1817 but she remains a writer who has captured the minds and hearts of many readers. The themes she addressed in her time remain ones that are relevant today: the need to be an individual despite the binds of society’s rules, the complications of marriage, and the power and powerlessness that comes with changes in social class.

    Our guests this week, AH Kim, and Melodie Edwards, both love Jane Austen and with such gusto that they wrote their own reimaginings of her novels. They talk about the potential pitfalls of their endeavors given how exacting many Austen fans are, as well as the things they wanted to ensure they kept from Austen versus the creative license they took to make their stories unique to their own experiences and modern times.

    Sustainability Now! | East Leeds Community Radio | Think Global, Act Local | 3-25- 24

    Sustainability Now! | East Leeds Community Radio | Think Global, Act Local | 3-25- 24

    On this week’s program, your host, Justin Mog, connects across The Pond with fellow community radio hosts at East Leeds Community Radio in Louisville's Sister City of Leeds, England. Rachael Unsworth & Clarrie Ramsden are heard each month on the program "Think Global, Act Local" on East Leeds Community Radio / Chapel FM (https://www.chapelfm.co.uk/elfm-player/archive/?_sf_s=climate). Rachael is the host of the show, as well as a professional geographer, seasoned tour guide, and presenter (https://www.leedscitywalkingtours.co.uk/). Clarrie is a regular reporter on the program, and also does some amazing local activism, running a group called Climate Action Seacroft.  It's part of Climate Action Leeds, a 5 year program across Leeds, funded by the UK National Lottery (https://www.climateactionleeds.org.uk/).

    Listen in as we compare notes about our respective communities, how we are acting locally to combat climate chaos, and how we each use radio to engage our communities in the process of transition toward a more sustainable future. Leeds has an aspiration to go carbon neutral and Louisville has just released a Priority Climate Action Plan for the 11-county
    region (https://louisvilleky.gov/government/sustainability/climate-action-and-resilience-plans) after Louisville Metro Council set goals in a February 2020 Resolution for Clean, Renewable Energy:
    • 100% clean renewable electricity for Metro government operations by 2030
    • 100% clean energy for Metro government operations by 2035
    • 100% clean energy community-wide by 2040

    This is the first program co-produced by sister stations, Forward Radio and Chapel FM. We invite you to join us for some live dialogue with our new friends at East Leeds Community Radio during Forward Radio's 7th Birthday Party on Saturday, April 13th 5-8pm at Logan Street Market, 1001 Logan St.

    This program would not have been possible without the talented dedication of Think Global, Act Local's Producer Lucy Smickersgill and Engineer Phil Driscoll. Many thanks to them!

    As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

    Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am. Find us at https://forwardradio.org
