The Tatler team pick the podcasts that speak to them as women and that they recommend listening to this International Podcast Day and beyond
In the spirit of International Podcast Day on September 30, Front & Female editors, writers and the wider Tatler Asia team picked the podcasts that speak to them as women, from the inspiring to the informative to the ear-opening.
From podcasts hosted by renowned female figures such as Lena Dunham, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brené Brown, to those that tackle topics as wide-ranging as women in the workplace and the challenges they face, to the journeys of trailblazing women in the male-dominated F&B industry, and those sharing stories that encourage listeners to reconsider or rethink women that have been miscast in the public imagination or dismissed, there's a wide range of recommended ear candy to choose from. There's also a podcast that claims to be “the most-listened to podcast by women” and, hailing from closer to home, podcasts that see Malaysian entrepreneur Datin Vivy Yusof in conversation with influential guests, Filipina digital creator Myrza Sison sharing life advice, and writer Agas Ramirez uncovering the history of Southeast Asia from the perspective of women, including historical figures, matriarchal societies and contemporary female icons.
There's plenty to inspire and to add to your 'Play Next' list.

1. The C-Word
1 / 1
“The C-Word by Lena Dunham and Alissa Bennet is an amazing podcast which dives deep into the life of women that society dismissed by calling them mad, sad—and even hysterical. From pop-culture icons like Winona Ryder and Lindsay Lohan to historical ones like Marie Antoinette, I love how this podcast pushes us to rethink the way to perceive famous women, as well as the role gender stereotypes and the media play in shaping sexist narratives.”
– Salomé Grouard, deputy digital editor, Tatler Hong Kong
