Molly Parkin for The Last Bohemians
The Last Bohemians
Produced by an all-female audio team and hosted by journalist Kate Hutchinson, this series profiles fearless women and maverick outsiders in arts and culture.
Episodes we love: Molly Parkin: the grand dame of British bohemia and Pauline Black: the original rude girl
What women are saying: "Stories of exceptional and independent women in their 60s, 70s, 80s, who lived their lives radically long before it was “cool.” Props to the creators: it’s rebellious in itself to give these women a way to share their stories." - iTunes review
Where to listen: Audioboom, Apple Podcasts, RadioPublic

The Stoop
Hosts Leila Day and Hana Baba start conversations about what it means to be black and how we talk about blackness. It’s a celebration of black joy with a mission to dig deeper into stories that we don’t hear enough about.
Episode we love: Sounds From A Well Read Black Girl
What women are saying: "I've been enjoying The Stoop for a while now and it just does not disappoint. Hana and Leila examine vital topics in depth but they also challenge themselves in doing so, providing a thoughtful and personal look at issues that, yes, we NEED to talk about." - iTunes review

The Cut on Tuesdays
We're big fans of the digital publication The Cut and its smart, thought-provoking delivery of cultural news. Their podcast is more of the same—in the best way possible—spotlighting women's voices on culture, style, sex, politics, and people.
Episodes we love: Your Driver is Here (we also spoke with Alison for The Fold, and she's a force) and Rebecca Traister's Brain is Boiling
What women are saying: "The Cut is my morning power smoothie on Tuesdays. It’s my morning chat with woke friends who are bold and daring enough to say what’s on their minds. It’s my time to catch up with feminist friends and not apologize for my body or my feelings." - iTunes review
Where to listen: Spotify, Apple Podcasts
