International Women's Day Bonus Episode

Celebrated every year on March 8th, International Women's Day acknowledges the social, economic, and political achievements of women around the world. We’ve made a lot of progress over the years, but there’s still a long way to go. In many parts of the world, women are still less likely to own land, a business, or attend school. According to the United Nations, more than half of the world’s poorest people are women. International Women’s Day attempts to bring women equal access to rights and opportunities like education, protection under the law, and freedom from violence. I’m shocked during my research of true crime cases in America alone that involve female victims. Around the world today, organizations, communities, and individuals have organized events celebrating the achievements of women everywhere. I thought one small way I can recognize the accomplishments of women around me is by sharing the incredible shows of female podcasters! According to a November 2019 article from Quartz, an online global news community, only one-in-three chart topping podcast hosts are women. There are so many amazing podcasts hosted by dedicated, hard-working women just doing what they love. As a way to celebrate women around the world today, please take a few minutes to enjoy these short trailers from podcasts created, hosted, edited, and supported by women. You might just find your new favorite show, and I know all of these lovely ladies would appreciate having their voices heard!
