Sound Women

In the wake of Sound Women and Creative Skillset's Women on Air Report, I gathered together Maria Williams, Sound Women's founder, Emma Barnett, host of Sunday Drive on LBC97.3 and Women's Editor of the Daily Telegraph, and Tony Moorey, content director for Absolute Radio. Together they chew over why only one in five radio presenters is female, why you'll rarely hear a female duo on the airwaves, and why you can't afford to be shy if you want a career in radio.
