Robin explains why WMC Live’s move to a new day and time on CBS is a homecoming to a previous life and career, and speaks with columnist Connie Schultz about Ohio as the front line of fair voting; California Representative Barbara Lee on the Congressional Black Caucus and women; and actress, activist, author, and Women's Media Center co-founder Jane Fonda on sex, intimacy, age, health—and furnishings.

Egyptian-American journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested yesterday for allegedly defacing a controversial ad in a Times Square subway station. During her last interview prior to her arrest, she spoke passionately with Robin about anti-Muslim sentiment and the fight for justice and freedom.

(The show aired on Sunday, September 23, 2012. We are now making available Mona's interview as a stand-alone download.)

Robin discusses the Mars Curiosity rover and gender in space, and speaks with Patti Chang of the Feed the Hunger Foundation on the topic of philanthropy for women; Shelby Knox, young feminist organizer, on the topics of online organizing and media myths on young feminism and women's equality; and Mona Eltahawy, Egyptian-American journalist and women's rights advocate, on sexual harassment in Egypt and attempts by far-right political actors in both Egypt and the so-called "West" to manipulate the "Arab Spring" revolutions for their own extreme agendas.

Robin discusses myths and spin from the right on why unions must be destroyed and why teachers are the enemy, and speaks with Ellen Snortland, women's and girls' self-defense advocate and author of the book Beauty Bites Beast; Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago teachers' union whose members will vote today on whether to end their strike; Lynn Povich, author of Good Girls Revolt, a former senior editor at Newsweek and one of the women who successfully sued Newsweek for gender discrimination in the 70s; and Gloria Feldt, women's leadership speaker, author of No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power, and the former head of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Robin discusses personhood, as it applies to corporations and embryos—but not quite so much to women, Native Americans, or African-American slaves of the antebellum American South—and finds in the Constitution a perplexing suggestion that the taxes one pays (or doesn't) may be deeply linked to whether, or how much, a person is a person. Robin's guests are Cristina Azocar, director of the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism and a member of the Upper Mattaponi tribe to discuss the Native American vote and its impact on modern elections; Judy Norsigian, co-author and co-editor of the 40th-anniversary Our Bodies Ourselves book and a figure behind the new Our Bodies Our Votes action campaign; Brenda Berkman, one of New York City's first female firefighters, to discuss the forgotten female heroes of 9/11; and Dialla Shamas, with the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility (CLEAR) project, to discuss the ongoing impact of 9/11 on Muslim communities in New York and the rest of the U.S.

Robin talks about the Republican National Convention, and speaks with El Diario-La Prensa Executive Editor Erica González about Latina politics; Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton on the upcoming Democratic convention; CodePink co-founder and co-director Jodie Evans about demonstrating at both conventions; and author and New Yorker staff writer Ariel Levy about Naomi Wolf's new book.
