Ranger Moop Chaser heard a call over an event Radio, had his wife follow the conversation to Admin and jumped in to help out. A story that meant a lot of things to many different people.

Radio Check... A Podcast from DIM116 - Women of Khaki - Keeper interviews Mere de Terre, k8 and Peaches - Part 2Hello Listeners!
Today is the second part of Women of Khaki Wave 2. Keeper produced this talk which gives insight into the days of Female Rangering after the release of Kathasauras's Women of Khaki calendar.
Mere de Terre (as her friends say though officially listed as "Mere de Terra"), k8 (lowercase k - BIG 8) and Peaches continue to discuss just exactly what has changed and what has gotten better or still needs work in the Rangers.

Radio Check... A Podcast from DIM115 - Women of Khaki - Keeper interviews Mere de Terre, k8 and Peaches - Part 1Episode 15!!!! What a long strange trip it has been.
This is another episode one of a 2 parter. This discussion talks about the challenges and changes women in the Rangers went through after the release of the Women in Khaki calendar.
Ranger HQ, Female Shift Leading, and rain storms are among the many things Women in Khaki have been dealing with since the beginning.
Also, just because it looks good and makes sense, does not mean it is perfect. The emotional element still needs to be considered.
