  Special episode: Martha Ullman West 15.07.2026 21min

  This week we bring you something different: An interview with Martha Ullman West, nationally respected dance critic and author, and a friend of Ursula's for a half century, who died on July 5. The interviews were conducted by Theo Downes-Le Guin in 2022–2023 for a podcast project that never came to fruition. Martha's memories and stories are wonderful, and we hope you'll enjoy them and join us in honoring this remarkable person.
