Deep dives

Navigating the Male-Dominated Podcast Landscape

The current podcast landscape is heavily dominated by male hosts, creating a disparity in representation and opportunities for women. Many prominent podcasts in the wellness space predominantly feature male experts, often relegating female guests to specific topics related to women's health, such as menopause or maternity. This pattern indicates an implicit bias that undermines the credibility and contributions of female voices in a space that should encompass diverse perspectives. The reinforcement of this male-centric model not only limits the exposure of female experts but also perpetuates the notion that men are the primary authorities in health and wellness discussions.
