Launched with the support of founding partner The Procter &
Gamble Company (NYSE: P&G), this new podcast network will
produce original shows while providing a platform for the voices of
established and emerging women leaders as well as organizations
making a difference for women and girls. The network’s first
podcast series, which debuted in late 2019, has already featured
conversations with luminaries such as former Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, Diane Von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, and Arianna
Huffington.
Although women make up nearly 50 percent of podcast listeners,
women’s voices are under-represented in the fast-growing podcast
space. With 2020 bringing the centennial of women’s suffrage in the
U.S. and the 25th anniversary of the 4th World Conference on Women
in Beijing, the podcast network will be oriented toward fixing that
imbalance.
“Technology—in particular, podcasting—provides a unique
opportunity to fast-forward progress for women around the world,”
said Kim Azzarelli, CEO and Co-Founder of Seneca Women. “We no
longer need to travel by horse and buggy to advocate for women’s
progress as our foremothers did, but the discovery and
amplification of a diversity of women’s voices is still a
significant gap that we can help address through the Seneca Women
Podcast Network and app.”
Building on Seneca Women’s thought leadership and its founders’
decades of experience in advancing women around the globe, as well
as its first podcast series, Seneca Women Conversations on Power
and Purpose, which debuted in 2019, the Seneca Women Podcast
Network will be a trusted source for inspiring, purpose-driven and
actionable content. Centered on the principles of power, purpose
and connection, the Seneca Women Podcast Network will produce and
curate audio content on a diverse range of topics that showcase
positive role models, practical insights and shared learnings.
Season One of Seneca Women Conversations on Power and Purpose
featured thought-provoking discussions from Seneca Women Forums at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art with leaders including Andrea Jung;
CEO of Coca-Cola James Quincey; Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad
Yunus; Chelsea Clinton; and Valerie Jarrett, former adviser to
President Barack Obama, among others.
“Media can be a powerful force for good, and the Seneca Women
Podcast Network offers the opportunity to reinvent media with
innovative, positive, and quality content. It’s time to ensure that
the voices of women are finally and fully heard and amplified to
help make the world a better and more inclusive place for all,”
said Marc Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer, P&G.
“Since the Seneca Falls convention of 1848, women in the U.S.
have been on a journey to equal rights. That journey continues here
and for women around the world,” said Ambassador Melanne Verveer,
Chair and Co-Founder of Seneca Women. “The recent Global Gender Gap
Report from the World Economic Forum predicts it will take another
99 years for us to get to equality. We are launching the Seneca
Women Podcast Network to accelerate women’s progress, as we
believe, progress for women is progress for all.”
“We’ve partnered with Seneca Women for several years to change
the narratives about women in the workplace and the world and shift
the focus from ‘fixing the women’ to fixing the bias and systems
that can hold women back,” said Carolyn Tastad, Group President -
North America and Chief Sales Officer, P&G. “The Seneca Women
Podcast Network provides an important new platform for
conversations and content to help expose blind spots and embrace
broader perspectives and solutions that can change the trajectory
of gender equality and create a more equal world for everyone.”
