Podcast community, Content is Queen is bringing the Women’s Podcast Festival to King’s Place, London in June.
The one-day event unites the global community of female innovators and leaders in podcasting, audio and radio. It’s the first and only of its kind in the UK that offers access to the women shaping this rapidly expanding medium.
The festival will be live streamed with a programme including multi-award-winning podcasters through to women who carved out a niche and innovated in the industry.
Content is Queen founder Imriel Morgan says: “This festival is the first of its kind in the UK and now the world. I’ve been deeply entrenched in the podcast industry for 7 years now and women’s voices and contributions are still woefully underrepresented. When you add race and sexuality to that it’s even bleaker. This festival changes that and reimagines the industry from the perspective of a representative group of female leaders so that we can empower and inspire the next generation of voices.”
This event has been created so that attendees from every background are represented – including people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, young professionals/newcomers, parents and older attendees. At least 25% of profits from The Women’s Podcast Festival 2022 will go towards Content is Queen’s Summer Microgrant Programme.
The Women’s Podcast Festival at King’s Place is on Saturday 18th June and more details can be found on the Content is Queen website.
