Carmel Holt: Amplifying Female Voices with SHEROES Radio


Listen Later

Carmel is a multi-talented broadcaster who has worked in the American radio industry since the 90s. During this time, she’s been an award-winning music director, a midday and a full-time host, a revered interviewer and a regular NPR contributor. Carmel has the unique experience of working at forward-thinking commercial and public stations, Radio Woodstock and WFUV, respectively.

But throughout her career, Carmel has been acutely aware of having to operate in a male-dominated space. One where women were not given equal opportunities, in both programming and in the radio profession itself.

Recognising the resounding detriment this has, Carmel left WFUV in 2019 to start Sheroes. Sheroes includes a syndicated radio show of the same name and the podcast, Mixtape Memoir.

Sheroes focuses on the most important and interesting musicians of recent times. These musicians also happen to be womxn or female-identifying. Not only does Sheroes ensure their contributions are being archived in music history, but it seeks to highlight how male-dominated radio programming often is and calls for change.
