THE PODCAST
The climate crisis, rape culture, the wall—we think the patriarchy has done enough. Introducing “When Feminists Rule the World”, a new podcast series from the Nobel Women’s Initiative and producing partner Mediastyle. Hosted by Nicaraguan-born comedian, Martha Chaves, we’re talking to badass feminist changemakers around the world about the future they are creating. It shouldn’t be groundbreaking. But it is.
Episodes drop on Wednesdays at 10AM EST.
EPISODES
In our premiere season host Martha Chaves talks to a number of remarkable women changemakers on a range of issues, from bodily autonomy to the climate crisis, decolonizing leadership to the border wall. Oh yeah, and we even learn the secret to peace in the Middle East (spoiler alert—it's women). Click below to listen and learn more about each of these episodes and the bad ass activists who populate them. Our feminist future is bright af.
