The Bridge from The Aspen Institute

These days, women of different generations and geographies have never needed one another more. And yet, there are so few places where we are in meaningful dialogue. This inspired The Aspen Institute to create The Bridge, a podcast that puts two people with deep knowledge and compassion in fierce, fun conversation with one another.

    Listen and share!
    This podcast is fascinating and inspiring. It also happens to the very thing I've been looking for in terms of "news" and actionable advice for women hoping for change and resistance. It's also a great resource for creating awareness and dialogue around so many important and global women's issues relevant to right now. Listen to it and share it!
