1 hr 11 min - Alexandra Cohl on Mental Health Awareness Month
This week, Alexandra is doing something a little different.

She is also recommending that you go and check out some older episodes, specifically the ones where mental health conversations were front and center:
- Episode 3: Rita Phetmixay
- Episode 5: Isabeth Mendoza
- Episode 7: Ylani Salcedo

1 hr 2 min - Isabeth Mendoza: On Truth Be Told, public & mental health, community engagement, and deportation
On this episode, Alexandra speaks with Isabeth Mendoza, the engagement producer for KQED podcasts. This interview was recorded in July 2020 when Isabeth was the engagement producer for Truth Be Told at KQED. They discuss the Black Lives Matter protests, mental health and therapy during the pandemic and social uprisings, and building better boundaries with social media. In the first half of the interview, they specifically discuss racism in the healthcare system, Isabeth's journey from studying public health and being a millennial caregiver to doing Next Generation NPR, an NPR internship, and how attending a podcast festival led to one of her first podcast jobs. She is super frank about what it took for her to do freelance for a year and gave tips on creative ways to attend festivals, even when they are outside your budget. The latter half of the conversation includes a surprising after effect of anxiety, how to fix it, and a conversation with Isabeth about her Truth Be Told episode with her father, who has been living in Mexico for many years since being deported from the United States.

About The Pod Broads: A Podcast About Women in Podcasting
From the publisher's feed
It's 2023 and still only, like, one third of podcasts are hosted by women. Not sure about you, but here at The Pod Broads (https://www.poddraland.com/the-pod-broads-podcast) that is seen as some major BS. Join Alexandra Cohl as she interviews women in the podcasting industry about their life, their work, and how the two intersect -- because we're all multi-faceted human beings and women in this industry deserve to have their work and experiences highlighted in fun, deep, and reflective conversations.
So, who is Alexandra? Well, she's been named a "typical misandrist American feminist" by trolls on the internet. She's a longtime writer and English Lit nerd turned podcast PR and marketing media strategist who is hell bent on getting more people to listen to women.
Are you a woman in podcasting? You might also like to join Broads in Progress (https://www.poddraland.com/join-the-community), an exclusive community for women podcasters looking to grow their podcast with support and accountability.
