She Podcasts has moved She Podcasts LIVE 2022 to the spring. The information comes from Jess on the She Podcasts website.

Last fall in Arizona, I swore I’d change She Podcasts LIVE to be in spring of 2023. It felt right. Elsie and I felt good vibes about Spring.

Then, we got so much enthusiasm and amazing feedback from last year’s Arizona event, our team and I wondered if perhaps waiting was a mistake, that people wanted it sooner. At that same time, we found a gorgeous hotel with available fall dates. I fell in love with the MGM. We changed to fall.

That… was a mistake. For whatever reason, these dates weren’t working for most of you. I’m sure there are a ton of reasons, personal, financial, professional.

We recognize and are so deeply grateful for the speakers, sponsors, and ticket holders, who were dedicated to support, teach and attend even in the current social climate, and we are humbled by their generosity.

But if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

She Podcasts Live has new dates: to June 19-22, 2023, at the same location of MGM National Harbor in Washington D.C.

Tickets, for now, are on hold. We want to redesign how we sell attendance and sponsorship. We want to add some exciting new features.

Most of all, we want, – no, we NEED – you to come.

Our mission has always been to support underrepresented voices. Recent data shows that 70% of podcasters are white men. That means 7/10 people who listen are being educated and/or entertained by white men.

As I’ve said, I truly don’t mind white men and in fact I created 2 for the world to enjoy with my own DNA. Even so, that stat means that OUR STORIES are not being heard as they should – and ESPECIALLY women of color and LGBTQIA.

This community is strong. These members are powerful. You are brilliant, supportive, encouraging, enthusiastic, passionate, proud.

Based on the rate at which we add members and the activity of the group and conversations, it’s clear you need each other.

That’s why I coordinated the event. You, the members, asked for it. I, the arrogant, thought “Well, I’ve had 2 weddings and 2 bar mitzvahs. How hard could it be?”

The answer: pretty fucking hard

800 of you came the first year. It was a triumph. Then, we had a pandemic. And we are all still recovering.

This is the year that everyone who successfully avoided covid for 2 years got covid. Myself included. (IN FACT, half my staff has it RIGHT NOW). The event, understandably, was in jeopardy. Moving it to spring makes sense to me.
Without risking our lives, I believe we need to reconvene. I believe that spring of 2023 will be a time when we can comfortably live knowing that covid isn’t going away and perhaps know better how to protect ourselves and one another from catching it. I believe we need to learn to successfully phase out our fear and phase in the Time of Knowing What The Hell To DDo.

I truly hope so. The event we are going to plan for June will be extraordinary, but it will mean nothing without YOU, the expert, the business genius, the storyteller, the coach, the mathematician, the parent podcaster, the editor/producer/sound designer, the ex-broadcaster, the PR whiz, the comedian, the healer. We need EACH ONE OF YOU.

And personally, I can’t wait ti see you all.

She Podcasts, the online community with almost 20,000 members launched a new virtual membership for their audience on October 1.

The online membership gives members an opportunity to learn online and facilitate intimate relationships with their community, without the distraction of social media.

Last fall, She Podcasts held their first women’s podcasting conference in Atlanta GA and were planning their second one in Scottsdale, AZ, before the pandemic occurred. They were able to postpone their Arizona conference to 2021, and decided rather than hold a virtual conference, a membership would be a better solution.

“What we really wanted to provide was a place where our members could consistently get what they got from being at our live event, with the added benefit of our undivided attention,” said CDO and Co-Founder Jessica Kupferman.

Co-Founder Elsie Escobar adds, “We’ve purposefully created our membership within our own platform, somewhere we could control the environment as well what our members are exposed to, and who will interact with and educate them. The paid membership that we’ve built will have everything people love about She Podcasts, including an expert’s undivided attention.”

The membership has launched with a sliding scale, so that members who need help now more than ever can have access to the resources they need to help launch and grow a podcast. The lowest tier starts at $17 monthly and $175 annually, and there are 3 plans to choose from for a limited time.

Membership comes with a vast library of online courses, webinars, templates, checklists and challenges, but is also built with a robust community for members to easily engage in conversation and get to know one another.

They’ve also included weekly QA sessions, coaching office hours, a full member directory, events calendar, interviews with experts, and special sections of the website where members can look for guests, promote their podcasts, offer their services, and more.
