YIP Podcast

This week YIP features an interview with Johanna Krynytzky from Hip Expressions Bellydance Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. Diagnosed several years ago with breast cancer, Johanna found her (insurance-less) self struggling not only with her health, but also with mounting medical costs. And in the midst of this crisis the bellydance community swooped in to bolster her spirits and her pocketbook! (As inspirational stories go, this is a doozy; I got goosebumps during the interview!) The YIP Crew would like to thank Johanna for her honesty and her willingness to share her story with our listeners.

The YIP Crew are happy to welcome their good friend, Cat, onto the show! Cat talks about how her love for bellydance began because of - and is still fostered by - the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). She also takes over music for the episode, recommending two artists that are familiar to many SCA-ers! Tammy talks up some truly cool upcoming events, and Mary tries to justify her appearance on this episode by interrupting everyone as much as possible.
