This year’s anniversary episode welcomed special guest Elsie Escobar, Podcast Hall of Famer and co-founder of She Podcasts to discuss podcasting, growth and grit. Elsie mentors independent podcasters, from seasoned to novice, and she and I go back to 2017. Our conversation included the evolution of independent podcasting, innovations in technology, and the power of diverse voices  in audio storytelling. Elsie lauds the success of Advanced TV Herstory for its independence, consistent delivery of high quality content and respect for the podcast’s worldwide audience.

There was a lot to talk about! Elsie’s trailblazing journey as a Latina podcasting leader and how women-led podcasts shape the industry. We talk about podcasting growth and grit that comes with trial and error in a rapidly changing tech field like podcasting. Elsie also explains her advocacy for creators in non-English-speaking communities.
