'Bush Podpreneurs': Why more and more rural women are starting their own podcasts

'Bush Podpreneurs': Why more and more rural women are starting their own podcasts

New research shows rural women are producing their own independent podcasts… Kirsten Diprose argues that ironically, it’s the traditional inequality of rural areas that’s been the catalyst.
