About Northern Power Women

We were delighted  to be commissioned to create a podcast for the awesome Northern Power Women. And for nearly two years we produced an hour long magazine stye show each month, bringing you a  no holds barred discussion on the biggest issues that affect our careers and lives – recorded in front of a live audience every single month. There were also in-depth interviews and an advice style section called Ask The Hive.

When Covid-19 hit in March 2020, we pivoted to become a weekly podcast, full of news, updates, discussion and your Life Lessons.
