113. Why We Need More Women Podcasters — And How You Can Support Them

In this special Women’s History Month episode of Soul Podcasting Collective, I’m reflecting on something that’s been on my mind after more than two decades behind the mic: women make up about half of podcast listeners, yet far fewer are hosting the shows that shape the conversation.In this shorter episode, I explore what the research says about women in podcasting, why representation still matters, and how each of us — whether we’re creators or listeners — can intentionally support women’s voices in this space.I also highlight a few inspiring women who are building meaningful impact in the podcasting world and share why their work matters for the future of this medium.This episode is part of Podcasthon, a global initiative where thousands of podcasts come together for one week to spotlight charities. I’m honored to feature 51&, an organization working to transform women’s healthcare systems and ensure women are heard, supported, and represented.If you care about the future of podcasting — and the stories we choose to amplify — this episode is for you.
