Feminist Podcasting: Why we need more women in podcasts

In this episode, I rant about the importance of women's voices in podcasting, addressing the societal pressures that have historically silenced women.

I go deep on the power of storytelling and community building through podcasts, highlighting the need for more women to take the mic and share their experiences.

I also explore the economic influence of women in media and encourage listeners to embrace their voices and uplift others.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Women have been historically told to be quiet and make themselves small.
• Podcasting is a powerful tool for women to claim their voices.
• Every time a woman speaks up, she challenges societal norms.
• Women-led podcasts can create intimate communities.
• Representation in podcasting is crucial for empowerment.
• Podcasting allows women to share their stories without gatekeepers.
• The more women who speak up, the more others feel safe to do the same.
• Podcasting is about belonging, not just broadcasting.
• Your voice matters, and it doesn't need to be perfect.
