In this month's Sound Women podcast, there is a VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: the new patrons of Sound Women! Not only that, there is also a VERY EXCITING PERSON: the magnificent Fi Glover. A founder member of Sound Women, Radio 4 starlet and all-round smart lady, Fi tells me about:

• Working hard and for free (but not, in her case, as a lawyer or recruitment consultant), while you’re still young enough to recover physically, and can still be arsed;

You can hear Fi on (and submit your own audio to) The Listening Project as well as Generations Apart; check out her book Travels With My Radio; and follow her on Twitter @fifiglover.

To find out more about Sound Women - events in your area, training, and membership - visit soundwomen.co.uk or tweet @soundwomen.

Thanks to Martin Austwick for the music, and to you for listening! Back in July.
