The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women (HERO)

I have never written a review before, but this podcast is so extraordinary, I just had to . I can’t wait for the next episode. Finally , there is a podcast about female empowerment that is deep, fresh, true, and exciting. The episodes are well researched with solid data and followed up with meaningful personal stories that give it perspective. What I found so fascinating is that while the innovations took place in African and Asian countries, which I loved learning about, they could also have broader implications and be revolutionary , even in their simplicity , if applied here in the US. Take, for example, the first episode where child development is vastly improved by training daycare workers, while also stabilizing many women’s and families’ financial stability. A societal win-win. The host Reena Ninan has a good, down to earth style in telling the story and at eliciting reactions from the people interviewed. All in all, the podcast is valuable in and of itself and could spark new ways to think about our own social problems.

I loved hearing how women in different parts of the world are being empowered to have choice and a voice! I hope there’s another season that will seek to improve and even speak on women in America. I’d like to see all women praised and acknowledged whether you’re a woman who wants to work or not as all are heroes. Thanks for the podcast! My first review written ever.

Here in the USA we often take for granted our liberties. It can feel as if we live in a bubble. This podcast sheds light on the plight of our sisters in other parts of the world. This podcast is informative, well-researched, and a delight to listen to. I highly recommend. Five stars!

Great podcast exploring ways to empower women across the globe.
