Two OB/GYNs talking about perimenopause could be a complete and utter downer. All the symptoms and the misery, not including the fact that women's health issues are ignored, dismissed, largely untreated, and frankly, we haven't even started studying them at the level they deserve- You get our point. Fortunately, the chemistry between the hosts takes a potentially unhappy topic and brings out unexpected charm, hope, and humor. 

​

A great example of how a very niche-based podcast can have broad appeal, Mayhem & Method looks into the chaos that happens (or just threatens to happen) behind the scenes at events. Jen Santos has years of experience helping clients pull off major events, and she speaks with other events specialists who have dealt with everything from no wifi to wandering Bob to ice cream but no scoopers. Hear their stories of (near) disasters and how dedicated teams manage to make the magic happen time and time again.

A fascinating deep dive into how humanity is (or isn’t) preparing for longer futures and very different career paths, thanks to technology. The hosts and guests are very smart, academic people engaged in a lot of Olympic-level thinking, which ordinarily would mean having to wrestle with keeping conversations lay-person-friendly.

Fortunately our hosts are gifted educators with the University of Washington, and that, in addition to them being genuinely curious and excited about the topic matter, kept the conversation lively and very consumable. Great conversations — and so many great resources mentioned to follow up! Learn more

We do people such a disservice when we fail to teach them about their bodies. And though body parts - particularly those associated with women - are still regarded as taboo, audio is at its best when it teaches. And yowza, do Drs Fuller and McClure TEACH. This is a no holds barred, put it all out there, no shame, all glory, all puns intended deep dive into sexuality and sexual health, particularly through the lens of the vulva. Thoroughly backed by science and years of experience, this is the podcast every BODY should hear, as well as a lesson in speaking openly, honestly, and with the very best, most honorable of intentions.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is a program that knows people don’t stop being curious and wanting to learn just because they’ve left traditional education. And the OLLI program at the University of Washington is one of the best. The challenge with OLLI-UW has been prioritizing all the amazing content they generate: lectures, discussions with instructors, conversations about courses and OLLI members — it’s all wonderful and worthy. We’ve been working very closely with the Director of OLLI-UW Natalie Lecher to help advise on how to make visual presentations work in an audio medium and other challenges, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be involved in this amazing project! Learn more.

Dr. Lora Shahine is an amazing resource for people on a fertility journey. She brings not only years of medical practice but also her own experience, a gentle touch, and a terrific sense of humor to the table. In her podcast, we wanted listeners to enjoy both her wisdom and her amazing “bedside manner,” so there are both interviews with subject matter experts but also solo episodes where she can dazzle us with her own expertise and charm. And a jazzy music piece underscores (pun intended) her humor and willingness to take on difficult topics with sensitivity plus a hint of irreverence. Listen here. 

There are few subjects more sensitive than fertility, but the Nurse Practitioners and fertility specialists who host this podcast do so with grace, compassion, humor, and care. Anne Judge and Ruby Booras of Seattle Reproductive Medicine tackle issues of human reproduction from a completely holistic angle, addressing physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, and at Audiotocracy, we’ve taken care to reflect the light and positive tone in our production decisions. Major points of discussion have been inclusion, respect, and being sure everyone feels welcome to the conversation: including men, LGBTQ+, NB and trans folx, and everyone who is looking to learn more. Listen here.

When realtor and business owner Jennifer Nelson came to us, she had an unusual idea: build a podcast that professionals in the real estate industry could use to earn professional continuing-education credits. Because of her expertise and that of the guests she was proposing to interview, getting accreditation was actually pretty simple. We work closely with Jennifer to ensure the content and quality stay within the prescribed boundaries, and having watched a few too many “CE” videos ourselves, we were thrilled to help produce podcasts that not only meet the state criteria but also are genuinely entertaining and contain actionable ideas. Check it out on Spotify.
