About the Show
Hosted by founder Anna Lind-Guzik, The Conversationalist Podcast features candid conversations with folks on the frontlines of the issues we care about, along with some of our favorite articles read by our writers themselves. Covering reproductive health, climate justice, the fight against kleptocracy, and more, this is feminist storytelling from a global perspective, highlighting solutions rooted in empathy, justice, equity, and care.
The Conversationalist is truly independent, nonprofit media, with no overlords and no corporate agenda. We prioritize public good over profit, and aim to spark conversations that inform and empower people to foster hope, kindness, and impact in their communities.
Special thanks to our friends at Cosmic Standard for producing our podcast, our audio engineer Dan Thorn for making it sound great, and the amazingly talented María Medem for our beautiful cover art.
