    Spotlight Chat with Derin Universe: The Dizi Industry and Women

    Episode Notes This week, Maha and Eda have a guest on the podcast; we get to speak with the person behind Derin Universe. Derin is a Turkish blogger who lives abroad and studied business in France and is starting her Masters in Creative Industry which includes TV and Films in London. She mostly writes in English so you can follow her writing easily. Interestingly, Eda discovered her blog through an article where she wrote about dizis and why there were not enough female producers. Join us for this interesting chat and we hope you will learn fun things along the way! Also interesting that this also includes the podcast's first Turkish guest. It's a rare and valuable insight to have two Turkish women from different generations talking about dizis. Things discussed in this episode center around women and the dizi industry, some things discussed may be triggering for our listeners who are sensitive around topics such as violence against women so please keep that in mind.
