A Magnificent List of 111 Female-Hosted Podcasts (And Counting)

Listen up: On last week's show we made the case that listening to podcasts hosted by women is a feminist act. We compiled a starter list of 40 or so female-hosted shows and asked for your endorsements. After sifting through many, many recommendations, our list is looking significantly more comprehensive.
But this still isn't enough! Please continue to share as you make new discoveries, so we can all keep our feeds fresh with female voices.
We're also ready to give you another challenge: recommend your favorite episode of a show hosted by a woman or another underrepresented group. We want to continue to diversify our listening habits. And with a list this long, it can be intimidating to find a place to start.
Next week we'll put together a sort of playlist for you and share it in our newsletter. Until then, happy listening!
