New podcasts celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month

The BBC World Service and BBC Sounds have announced two podcast series launching in March, to coincide with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.

Where to Be A Woman is an ambitious new title which will explore what it really means for women to live their best lives around the world.

While Dear Daughter, which won Podcast of the Year at the British Podcast Awards in 2022, will return for a third series and will feature celebrity chef Nadiya Hussain, amongst others.

Where To Be A Woman co-host Scaachi Koul says “If we want to build a world in which women really thrive, we first have to be able to imagine it. Where To Be A Woman will investigate how we might be able to find solutions to our endless gender quandaries.”

Co-host Sophia Smith Galer says: “Stories focusing on women’s wellbeing like this often get siloed by news media, but in this podcast we will be shining a spotlight on these stories and putting them centre stage.”
