Did you know that just one in three podcast hosts are women?

And just 21% of chart-topping podcast hosts are female?

Even though almost as many women listen to podcasts as men.

So what holds women back from launching a podcast? And why do so few women who DO start a podcast hit the top of the charts in their niche?

This special podcast episode - published to mark International Women’s Day 2021 - aims to inspire more women to get their voices heard.

You’ll hear from four podcasters (three female and one male) on how to get started with podcasting and overcome common fears - like getting to grips with the tech and getting used to the sound of your own voice. PLUS practical tips on launching your podcast.

Even if starting a podcast isn’t on your radar, there is so much to inspire you in this episode to get your voice out there.

Speakers: Charlotte Foster, Ant McGinley, Anna Parker Naples and Avni Gohill.
