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.
Top class, thought provoking podcast. I love that episodes are recorded in front of a live audience and the panellists are always of high calibre. Always topical, challenging and thought provoking.
If you’re a female, from the north & proud or just like the company & conversation of great women from all walks of life then give this a go. You won’t regret it 👍🏻
