More Thoughts on Ending the Manel

Thank you for everyone who has been sharing my newsletter, “Ending the Manel.” This definitely hit a nerve. Let’s hope for some change, and let’s all become more conscious consumers…it took me years to notice my own bias and preference for men as experts. I’m not spotless about it either. More newsletters to come. Meanwhile, thank you for sharing the piece, it’s important—these guys have massive platforms and I’m sure it’s not their intention to sideline so many female experts. More to come in the newsletter about who gets to be an expert (and what we get to be an “expert” on) and also on the podcast industry in general. I have a vested interest in the latter, which has made me shy to talk about it, but we can’t change what we can’t even say.
