The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation today announced that
Audible’s original audio series Breasts Unbound will receive a
Gracie Award in the category of Original Online Programming –
Standalone Audio. The Gracie Award recognizes exemplary programming
created by, for, and about women in all areas of media. This year’s
Awards will be presented at the 42nd annual Gracie Awards Gala on
June 6 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills,
California.
“It is truly rewarding to be receiving a Gracie Award on a topic
that spans culture, anthropology and medicine,” said Williams. “As
a science journalist, it was an illuminating experience to feature
characters who are so rich and varied – from cancer researchers to
a Texas grandmother who agreed to be a guinea pig for the first
implants. The Audible platform has opened up a new world for me; it
helped me turn my vision into an audio program, and I learned how
to write for sound. It was a privilege and it was also fun.”
“We are honored to be recognized by AWMF with the prestigious
Gracie Award, and equally proud to be on the forefront of
storytelling through the power of voice,” said Audible Chief
Content Officer Andy Gaies. “Breasts Unbound gracefully blends
science and personal anecdotes to challenge the choices we make
every day, and unearth some groundbreaking facts.”
Launched on Audible Channels earlier this year, the eight-part
series Breasts Unbound tackles myths and uncovers new facts on all
things breasts-related. Interview subjects include The Naked Ape
author Desmond Morris; an eight-year-old girl confronting hormonal
imbalances; and Chelsea Handler, who candidly discusses her own
highly publicized breasts. Additional episodes reveal why there is
an increase in larger breasts in men and women today, and how trans
women are learning to lactate. More information can be found here:
