Their candid conversation is filled with lessons learned and strategies to intentionally make podcasts for and by people of color.

The Future of Love, Lust and Listening

There’s great responsibility in taking the mic: To respect your guests and sources, to serve your listeners, and to present yourself well (as well as the hard work of the team behind you)—and that’s just for starters. Four hosts explain how they have navigated challenges like balancing air time with male co-hosts, to creating an accessible and welcoming experience for guests, and handling expectations specific to being a woman and a POC. This session was moderated by Shereen Marisol Meraji (Co-Host, Code Switch) with panelists Misha Euceph (Host and Producer, KPCC), Rund Abdelfatah (Co-Host and Co-Producer, Throughline), and Alice Wong (Host and Co-Producer, Disability Visibility Podcast).  Hosted by Dessa, 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 with additional support from the Annenberg Foundation. Event sponsors for Werk It 2019 include Luminary, Spotify, Spreaker, Acast, Himalaya, and the Women’s Foundation of California. You can find more information at werkitfestival.com.

Designing for Purpose and Produce-ability

"When you make something, it’s almost like there’s a canon and all of these people’s voices come into this canon: your mom’s voice, Ira Glass’s voice, your neighbor down the street--his voice. And it’s up to you to find the thing that feels true and resonates with your heart and to like take that out and put that into words." -- Megan Tan, Millennial podcast That’s what Megan Tan tries to do every time she sits down in her closet to record an episode of Millennial, her podcast about maneuvering through your twenties. Megan joined a conversation at Werk It, a women's podcasting festival, moderated by Manoush Zomorodi, the host and managing editor of Note to Self, about finding your voice on the microphone. Here’s Manoush and Megan, along with Happier’s Gretchen Rubin, How to be a Girl’s Marlo Mack and Why Oh Why’s Andrea Silenzi.
