Women in Community Broadcasting

Women on the Line

You might have heard of WINGS, the Women's International News Gathering Service. Your community radio station might even broadcast WINGS. In May this year, WINGS hosted an international webcast, where the producer there, Frieda Werden gathered women community broadcasters from right across the world, and we spent about two hours together, live on the web, discussing how and why we got involved in community broadcasting, and how it's enabled women to get connected. This week's show features excerpts from this webcase, and particularly, you'll hear the voices of Frieda Werden, the host of the webcast and of WINGS, the first guest Sheila Katzman and guest Kate Raphael. First up, Frieda introduces Sheila Katzman.
