After Andrea Dworkin, the famous feminist philosopher and activist, passed away, her chief critic, Susie Bright, who many perceived as Dworkin's opposite, published a stirring obituary and series of essays in which she described the ways that Dworkin was a catalyst for the sex-positive movement in contemporary feminism.

Susie's singing the praises of librarians everywhere this week after a startling incident at a library in Bethesda, Maryland with two homeland security officers. Then, Susie suggests a new twist in an old debate. She suggests that porn loving partners who want to win over their lovers should start by asking their lovers what turns them on.

Christian churches are coming to the rescue for some young women. But the old-fashioned advice they dole out on pornography may not be so helpful. Susie looks at a New York Times article about an evangelical group that promotes "victory" workshops against porn to end female members' addictions.

God has spoken!

We share some amazing memories and studio secrets that even Susie didn't know at the time!
