Each week, host Alexandra Cohl brings you an interview with a woman in the podcasting industry and speaks with her about her current job, her career journey, and how her personal life intersects with all of it. She'll give you an inside look into the lived experience of the women podcasters you already love and ones you may just be meeting. Conversation topics will include but are not limited to mental health, imposter syndrome, the personal and the political, workplace culture, challenges and wins, and other reflections. New episodes drop on Wednesdays at 5:00 a.m. EST. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
