Gaskin's stuff is very interesting pointing straight at the issues you touch lightly in this comment... legality, custom and practice, scheduled ceasarians versus the good old fashined forceps on the skull extraction method. Mark's subject matter in these interviews is brilliant, progressive, and pointed, but his production instincts seem very so-so. okay. when you listen you will want to ignore the music he uses for a lead-in and probably also the couple of tunes he has cut into the “show.” Gaskin’s stuff is very interesting pointing straight at the issues you touch lightly in this comment… legality, custom and practice, scheduled ceasarians versus the good old fashined forceps on the skull extraction method.
