Werk It: The Podcast

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Voice

<p>Lauren Ober, former host of NPR’s The Big Listen, explains why women’s voices are so often criticized, why those critiques are so easily internalized, and why it’s time for women to tell stories using their own authentic voices.</p>
<p>Hosted by Tanzina Vega, Werk It: The Podcast is the ICYMI version of the live event. Both the festival and the podcast are produced by WNYC Studios and are made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Event sponsors for Werk It 2018 include Spotify, Capterra, Stitcher, ART19, Pandora, Himalaya, and Yale School of Management.

The Werk It festival brings together women from around the world who host, produce, edit, sound design and love podcasts, for a few days of workshops, conversations and presentations. This podcast is the on-demand version of the live event. Think of it as the ICYMI, FOMO version for podcast geeks everywhere. We’ve kept only the best stuff in. Our episodes are in no particular order, so you can dive in and out and just explore, on your own time. If you’ve got a long road trip, go ahead and binge listen! If you’ve got a 20-minute commute, we’ve got something for that, too! Final thought: This podcast is for everyone; the voices you’ll hear belong to women, but the messages are universal.

WNYC Studios is the producer of other leading podcasts, including Radiolab, Death, Sex &amp; Money, Nancy and many more.
