Appendix. A. Dissertation Playlist - Audio 10- The Heart – "Lesbian Separatism is Inevitable"

**Corresponds to Dissertation titled: Lesbian Radio Radicals and The Queer Podcast Revolution: A Political Phenomenology of Soundwork by Stacey Copeland**

For podcasts active at the time this dissertation study was conducted and included in my dissertation appendix A, you will find text documents like this with links instead of direct audio files to download, along with a short description. Listenership and website traffic are crucial in podcasting. So I (Stacey Copeland) have opted to include text files with links rather than the audio files to help support soundworks referenced.

Researcher's Episode Description: Lesbian Separatism is Inevitable is a 24+ minute personal essay style soundwork produced in the voices of the episode writers and hosts Phoebe Unter and Nicole Kelly. The episode takes us on a journey with NK & Phoebe to a lesbian separatist ranch, Dyke Ranch in Baja California, where they experience first hand some of the feminist and queer politics and fantasies they have dreamt of and read about leading up to and beyond Dyke Ranch. NK and Phoebe also co-produced two limited series for The Heart following this episode in 2020: "Divesting from People Pleasing" and "Race Traitor". You can find more on these soundworks here: https://www.theheartradio.org/
