Women in Podcasting: The List
- NOTE: The current location of this list is temporary...
  - If you wish to link to this list, please link to this Contentious page, which will always contain a link to the most recent version of this list.
  - I will definitely be moving this list, once I find a formatting/rendering/hosting option that offers the features I need.

  - List navigation tips...
    Sections: Podcasts (audio) and videologs (video/audio) are listed in separate sections. If a show ceases production for three months or more, I move it into the "defunct" section.
    New or updated show listings appear at the top of the section. They will remain there until I do a new round of updates -- at which point I'll move them down into the main list.
    Blue text indicates clickable hyperlinks. Each show title is a link to that show's home page. "Subscribe" is a link to each show's feed.
