Podcasting in the UK

by Anna Farmery

For any women podcasters in the UK - a fellow blogger and podcaster, Heather Gorringe and I have started a blog to form a community in the UK. The purpose of the blog - and podcasts will follow soon - is to provide support and inspiration for women in the UK. Why women? Well we feel that in the UK it is quite male-centric and we want to encourage women to get to know about all the technology out there.

We are not geeks…we have learned purely through experience and made every mistake under the sun! We want to increase the learning curves of other potential bloggers and podcasters so that they can achieve the same enjoyment as we do. So if you are female and want to join the community then go over to WomeninPodcasting blog and add a comment. The blog is new and you can be at the start of the journey with us….in fact if you want to be a guest author just let me know by e-mail at anna@theengagingbrand.com.

Podcasting is about social connection, it is about bringing technology to the masses, it is about individualised content and we want to ensure that everyone who wants to have a go…has a go.

We will be arranging some meet ups in the next few weeks, so if you are interested let us know. So if you like a community and blog announced in beta!

    In the past I have been a little sceptical about “Womens Organisations”. However now I have been to several meetings of WiRE (Women in Rural Enterprise) and WIBA (Women in Business Association) I can happily say they were a lot of fun, they had a great atmosphere and were really good for confidence. Women in Podcasting isn’t about separating the sexes, its about promoting podcasting to and with women for the benefit of all.
    I cant wait.
