The program begins with a performance by and interview with comedian Jane Anderson (by Judy Pasternak), and a performance and interview with comedy writers and performers Deah Schwartz and Anne Wilford, by Ash Corea. They discuss their new piece “Leftovers: the ups and downs of a compulsive eater”. A cut from “We All Every One of Us,” the new album by Sweet Honey in the Rock, separates the interviews. Last is Judy Pasternak’s review of most of the women’s films at the 5th Annual Gay Film Festival. Part 2, containing college basketball news by sports reporter Karen Pearlman and the Women’s Community Bulletin Board, is missing.
