    • 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. OPML Manager is a fine free service for many uses, but (in my opinion) so far it's not great for publishing rich content that's meant to be read by people rather than machines.

              • 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.
