Mark your calendars: Season 2 drops October 14.
We’re back!
Conversationalist readers and listeners, after a long hiatus, I’m so excited to share that season 2 of The Conversationalist Podcast (formerly known as Unbreaking Media) is coming back October 14. Hosting our podcast has been a great professional joy for me, and it’s been an honor bringing the same depth, care, and human connection that we put into every article on our site into honest, informative conversations with our expert guests on the show. At a time when the free press is under attack around the globe—as corporate media increasingly bows under pressure from authoritarian governments—I treasure the space we’ve created as a feminist, independent nonprofit for stories and conversations that matter.
This season, we’re also introducing something new: half our episodes will feature some of our favorite articles, read by the writers themselves. You’ll hear their words, in their own voices, the way they were meant to be heard. The other half of the season will feature original interviews with folks working on the front lines of the issues we care about—from climate justice to reproductive health to fighting back against kleptocracy. We can’t wait for you to hear them.
