"Divorce" radio episode

Title

"Divorce" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin discussing a Portland newspaper's article on divorce and divorcees in Oregon. AuCoin states that Oregon sociologists found that Oregon has become especially popular for people that divorce elsewhere, as the state offers social tolerance and divorced women opportunities. AuCoin, however, describes how he is troubled by the manner in which the newspaper leaves out the trauma kids face following divorce. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired around 2002.
