Feedback with Toni Reece (February 4, 2026) Guests Suzanne Cody of Help a Girl Out and Dr. Valerie Trollinger Principal Bassoonist Reading Symphony Orchestra

Let’s talk about the “P” words.  Period poverty is the topic today in the first hour of FEEDBACK.  Period poverty is real.  It’s quiet.  It’s hidden.  For thousands of girls and women in our own communities, it means missing school, missing work, or making impossible choices between food, rent, and basic hygiene.  Meet Suzanne Cody, Co-Founder of Help a Girl Out and learn how one tiny organization is collecting over 80,000 products for girls and women in need.  In our second hour of FEEDBACK, we are joined by Dr. Valerie Trollinger, Principal Bassoonist for the Reading Symphony Orchestra.  Dr. Trollinger shares not only her journey as a Bassoonist but also how she works in performing arts medicine and works with remediating damaged musicians- people who are injured by playing instruments.
