NEW YORK – March 1, 2023 – Wonder Media Network, a women-founded, mission-driven podcast network, today announced that their original hit podcast “Womanica,” which tells the often untold stories of iconic women across history, will join iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, beginning today. Thinking back to history classes growing up, something was missing: where were the ladies at? Enter, “Womanica.” In just 5 minutes a day, listeners learn about different incredible women from throughout history.
“For almost four years now, we have published an episode every single weekday about a woman from history we might not know about, but should. These stories are unbelievable, far-reaching, inspiring, terrifying, and never-ending,” said Shira Atkins, co-founder and CRO of Wonder Media Network. “After amassing millions of listeners and many accolades, it’s a thrill to be able to take what was once an indie show with bold reach and even bolder aspirations, and turn it into a cornerstone of women-focused programming with iHeartPodcasts.”
